Client Certificate Authentication is possible for the CAcert Blog for some time. Now, the code was put into an own plugin and published to the wordpress plugin directory. You can also install the plugin directly from your wordpress admin interface to use it in your own blog.
Acknowledgements: This plugin is based on the HTTP Authentication plugin by Daniel Westermann-Clark. Ideas taken from Dan B.’s implementation for client certificate authentication.
During the last hours, the CAcert mailing list server was upgraded to the latest OS realease Debian Wheezy.
Please let us know, if you experience any problems.
The CAcert Blog (incl. its system) has been upgraded to recent software versions. With this also a new Theme had to be created to be compatible with the current version of the blog software.
Please let me know, if anything was broken by the upgrade or anything does not work for you as expected.
[Update: finished.] I will begin with the work now 2012-04-01 00:00 UTC. Infrastructure e.g. email, wiki, blog, lists will be unavailable during the time. The CAcert website along with all critical systems are not “infrastructure” and will not be affected.

I am planning to work on infrastructure again this weekend (2012-03-31) and downtimes may occur. Our host is low on disk space so I need to do some restructuring. A larger downtime may be involved.
Currently, each virtual host has its own logical volume (LVM). They will be consolidated into one. During the move and resizing I think I will not get around shutting down all infrastructure services.
I will send out a notice before I begin the work.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
