Uh, hello? Extortionate certificate fees aren't a technical problem. It's the "getting inclusion into Internet Explorer" problem that actually matters. What possible evidence do these people have that they'd be successful with this?
They mention on their wiki that a $75k+$10k/year audit will get them into IE, but that is out of their price range now. They are in process for mozilla. For safari the same $75k audit or "equivalent" will suffice.
Perhaps some company will fund them for the PR credit? Perhaps they could take donations? $85k/yr isn't too much. I'd chip in $20/year in a heartbeat.
