Re: [Savannah-help-public] missing SSL cert from savannah site

Regarding the cert stuff,

1) the "New User" link still leads to an https url.  New users are at
   least as likely to click on that as "Login".

2) The text before the login form now reads:

        You are about to enter a secure https website, using a SSL
        certificate signed by CAcert.org. If you did not include the
        CAcert.org certificate in your browser, please follow <these
        instructions>.

        Note: if you are using GNU Icecat or Debian Iceweasel, the
        certificate is already included.

(where <these instructions> links to the page of screenshots at
http://savannah.gnu.org/tls/tutorial/.)

I'd like to suggest that the phrase

    If you did not include the CAcert.org certificate in your browser,

be changed to something like

    If you get a security error upon submitting the form,

Since that is what users actually experience.

Alternatively, I think it would be better as
"If you did not already include ...".
