Fair enough.

If you're really paranoid about this Ana just email your answers to the
booking form PGP encrypted to me directly and I'll process them :)

Don't see why the wiki needs SSL?  Can you justify this?  What is it
that we're protecting people from with SSL?

This really isn't supposed to be a secret project, one for being
paranoid on, it's supposed to be an open project, that's why there's
this (almost open) list, and a public wiki.  Assume that everything is
public then you know where you are with it is my motto with this.

Obviously if we provide an SSL URL for the sign-up which we can do,
we'll need to provide a link and instructions to get to it.

It might therefore be better just to go for the SSL one as you suggest.
 As I said I can set this up on the current hacktivista.net server,
which is trusted and secure.

Fair enough.

There'll be an address to send a cheque to as an alternative.  This I
want to release ASAP.
