Would you like to move your questions to our <a href="http://gitlab.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">gitlab.com</a> site as an<br>
issue to initiate the discussion? I am not sure all in the development<br>
team follow this mailing list.<br>

> I’m the lead of a university project investigating (and improving) the usability of certificate validation errors. Our goal is to simplify the ecosystem by consolidating the errors and their documentation in one place, providing replicable example certificates for all validation errors and by explaining better what the individual errors mean. The project is live at <a href="https://x509errors.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://x509errors.org/</a><br>

> In the future, we plan the possibility of web reorganization based on the other libraries (currently, the web is organized by OpenSSL), adding the error frequencies based on IP-wide scans and elaborating on the consequences of individual errors.<br>
> Ultimately, we want to propose better (ideally user-tested) errors and their documentation. (Just recently, we made a survey among 180 developers regarding their error documentation preference with good reception).<br>
