[QGIS-Developer] [server] Status and Roadmap

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Régis, 

Good points. OGC certification is certainly important and would help us
market QGIS server to potential users. On the other hand - for me
personally - improving performance to bring it at least back to the same
level like version 2 (if not better) is of much higher priority. 

Thanks for having a look at how certification may work. 

Let's talk about it in Madeira.
