+    <b>Expand the OS and Server Support of the Let's Encrypt Client</b>
+    <br>
+    Language: <i>Python, Bash</i>
+    <br>
+    Likely Mentors: <i>Brad Warren (bmw)</i>
+    <br><br>
+    <p>
+    <a href="https://letsencrypt.org/";>Let's Encrypt</a> is a free and open
+    certificate authority that allows its users to setup HTTPS on their web
+    server in a matter of seconds. The project uses a new protocol called ACME
+    to automatically perform domain validation and certificate issuance.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+    The Let's Encrypt client currently works on most Unix-like OSes and is
+    able to automatically set up HTTPS on many Apache configurations. The
+    purpose of this project is to expand Let's Encrypt support to new
+    systems.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+    Potential targets include:
+    </p>
+
+    <ul>
+      <li>Better OS X support including a port or Homebrew package</li>
+      <li>A Let's Encrypt client for Windows / IIS</li>
+      <li>Handling of more obscure Apache configurations</li>
+      <li>Automated HTTPS configuration for other web servers such as Nginx or lighttpd</li>
+      <li>Improved support people using shared hosting who are unable to use the full Let's Encrypt client on their server</li>
+    </ul>
+    </li>
