Is Mike's view that having a contractor in to fix the SSL problem would cost too much generally shared? The SSL does impact on the credibility of the fundraiser, which raised £1M last time and one would hope that number would go up in future. As a percentage of one year's take, what is "too much"?
The decision isn't between hiring a contractor to fix the SSL and not fixing it. The decision is between hiring a contractor to fix the SSL and hiring a general technical employee to, among other things, fix the SSL. A general tech person may have to spend some time reading up on SSL before they can fix it, but they'll still be able to fix it.
