Not a problem at all. You have to accept the certificate once in your 
life (provided you don't buy a new pc...), and then you can work with 
the wiki.

Good remark. It just needs to be pointed out. When we noticed with 
Vincent some images were not automaticaly linked, it took Remi one 
command to fix it. It should be the same with pdf (perhaps Remi just 
forgot a "*.pdf" in his previous command...).

Agreed again.

Simple solution : everybody switch to the new wiki now. Thats what I 
suggested a while ago, but then people started complaining about long 
name and the certificate they had to accept once. NOTHING prevents a 
full use of yade.hmg at the moment.
The bugs you noticed need to be fixed, nothing more.

Very good!

In the worst case (no yade-dem in 10 months), the company that certified 
yade.hmg website will be included in the "trusted" list of firefox even 
before, so you won't have to accept the certificate any more. You will 
be left with that insanely long name though! ;)
