CAcert Code Development list.

Hello !

ACME protocol. Looks like a cartoon's name. If I am right, it comes from 
Let's Encrypt. It makes possible for web servers and appliances to get 
their renewed SSL certificates, without the admin doing it manually. 
Likely you know already about it.

How much work would it require from you guys to add the corresponding 
ACME API to the CAcert web app? Would such an API comply with our 
existing Policies ? Does a tool as Certbot delivers a true benefit for 
the end user in other scenarios than the typical Let's Encrypt 90 days 
validity period of time?

Just looking at possible companion tools making the end user life easier 
with our own solution.


Regards,

Frédéric.
