Andrew, 

   You're less rebuffed than you think you are, but still this
will take some time. Scot Harkins has initially compiled w3m,
and it has run into some glitches with a few functions in the C
libraries that will have to be sorted out. But it is in work.

   Gianni is right that it's up to Operations to deal with this.
Rhodes and Ops have to keep the system up, increase its
reliability, improve mail operations, get the new Linux machines
ready to add to the network so that SCN can keep up with its
growth, and focus on other such vital activities. Text-based SSL
is a nice addition, but it's not close to being as essential as
those things are.

   Even so, access to secure services on the Web is useful
enough even to text-only users that this item has been bumped up
a bit, compared to how it was viewed earlier when secure
services were less common, and Scot has found some time for this
project. The Ops people are continuing to evaluate a variety of
priorities and how to set them, and everyone is concerned about
how to bring more resources in to SCN.
