[Qgis-community-team] A certificate for certificator?

[Tim Sutton]

Hi Roberto

Yes agreed we understand these are currently limitations and it is on our
roadmap to one day address this. We had to build the certification platform
incrementally and it was already incredibly difficult and time consuming to
get where we are now, but improvements will surely come in the future. If
you have web developers in your company who are able to help, feel free to
reach out and we can involve you in the process.

Regards

Tim
