What about a kickstarter to subsidize SSL costs? Or how about one to buy a root CA and make it free?


There is already a community-driven CA: http://www.cacert.org/

The problem is that it's not only about money. You need to follow certain procedures or browsers and OSs won't include your root certificate.


I don't think anyone has confidence in CACert anymore. IIRC they bombed their internal audit...
