How much?
 
 
It looks like..verisign..cheapest option..
 $600/year
 $1100/2 years (save $100)
 $1600/3 years (save $200)

good enough?

Can six people each put up $100, check payable to Olaf,
he volunteers his time (or make it seven people, or $110 each), and we'll
worry about it again in a year?
I can.

Or ignore it?

Double the price for 128bit instead of 40bit.

I don't understand the "extended validation, gren address bar".

Shop around maybe it is availabe cheaper?

Or just ignore it?

Maybe they offer a discount for open source projects?

I'll poke around a bit more..
 
 
GoDaddy seems to offer much better.
Free for a year for open source projects, 256 bit, a $30 value.
A $30 value, hm.
 
 
So..if you don't want the bureacracy of being an official open source project..
They really do offer stuff starting at $30/year.
Their most expensive option seems to be $240/year.
Multi-year discounts range from 10% to 25%.
 
 
So..just $30/year?
Or free due to being open source?
 
This sounds more viable and maybe worthwhile. Or just ignore it?
