Yep.  Antonin has prepared a branch for 1.9.2, but there's one issue that
I'm not sure we've fixed right:

  https://github.com/jech/babeld/issues/47

You may expect a 1.9.2 candidate pretty soon, just this one issue that
I need to grok fully.

You sound like somebody who's never had to deal with French administration:

  - my boss agrees that I should get a cert;
  - our local sysadmins don't want to give me a cert;
  - my boss doesn't want to fight the admins;
  - ports 80 and 443 are firewalled, so I cannot get a cert myself;
  - I've asked for ports 80 and 443 to be opened, no reply.

I'm going to end up renting a server, but I'd need a domain name to get
a cert, and I cannot find a good name.  Help!

Please, let's make it happen.  There's no reason why all the free software
videconferencing servers should be big, complicated things that require
the JVM to deploy.
