If there's no login, there's no problem. Anywhere I'm entering in username and passwords, and storing stuff on a server, you better believe it should have encryption. But whether or not you think we need it, we are an official project who cares about the security of our users. We depend on mutual trust, and it looks very bad when browsers reject our invalid credentials (and rightly so).
Obviously, we want our users to trust us, and having official websites and chat services fail basic security checks destroys that confidence and trust.
So yea, big deal from my perspective. :)

What about websites which have no certificate at all? You just don't use them? Those websites will never have warnings about the certificate, because they don't have one. It doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't safe sites. InkscapeForum.com is one of those, fyi.
Of course we can agree to disagree :-)
All best brynn

No, I didn't. But I think it's important for visitors to our site to be able to trust the chat (especially one you have to sign up for and log into). I disagree that it's not a big deal.

I'd have to look it up to be sure, but I think it's an option in Firefox, to not load a page with an untrusted certificate. There are just so many untrusted certificates, on entirely trustworthy sites, I disabled it. I still get the warning, but the page isn't completely blocked.
Did you set a temporary exception? At least in Firefox, I got the option to set either a temporary or permanent exception, and that fixed the chat.
Or otherwise, perhaps Chrome should be notified. To my limited understanding, that doesn't seem reasonable to block the page and not give a choice.

It actually broke the chat entirely in Chrome, even clicking past the warning, it still would not connect. Fyi

Understood. Had to make a call with imperfect information. Sorry for the inconvenience. I hope we can pick up the forum stuff at the meeting in a couple days.

I don't consider an expired certificate, or whatever problem it was with the certificate, to be any kind of serious problem. I trust that the website is safe, and no serious threat will show up via untrusted certificate warning.
In my opinion, the untrusted certificate warnings are built on maximum paranoia. They truly do sound dire. But unless you are making some monetary transaction, or sharing files or info that should remain secure, they really can be ignored. Again, my opinion.
All best, brynn

We are heavily using this chat across all parts of the project at the moment. Do we need to worry about stability? Thanks for any advice.

Hello Ryan,
If you believe this chat service is critical, I suggest you to schedule a meeting with infrastructure team in order to find a better solution.

Hello All, Due to the certificate error on chat.inkscape.org, some individuals may be scared away from participating in our meeting tomorrow. I'm going to keep an eye on it, but if the error isn't resolved in the next couple hours I'm going to suggest we postpone our meeting one week. I'll update everyone on the status a little later.
