[hackerspaces] Trouble getting to the wiki

[Daniel F]

Latest Chrome on Android goes give one a big certificate error and warning.
If you hit advanced you can then skip it, though.

Not willing or wanting to get into a discussion about the relative merits
(or there lack of) of the CA system, but for the sake of non-technical
people -and generally lowering barriers to entry- I'd suggest we just spend
£10 and get a cheap domain-verified SSL cert.
I'd even be willing to donate one, if money is the issue.

Fligg.
