afaict it was a fork of perspectives and perspectives is alive :)

    Perspectives is a new approach to helping computers communicate
    securely on the Internet.  With Perspectives, public “network
    notary” servers regularly monitor the SSL certificates used by
    100,000s+ websites to help your browser detect “man-in-the-middle”
    attacks without relying on certificate authorities.

    Because anyone can run a network notary server, you get to choose
    who you trust to validate SSL certificates, a powerful concept
    indeed!  You can try it out using our Firefox Extension.
