Using the webroot domain verification method

That's a good point about trying to directly convey these changes to the Let's Encrypt community. I think no matter what we do, some people fail to hear about the change, but we can certainly do better. Do you have any suggestions on how we should go about doing this? What if we tried to made a post on these forums when major changes went in? One thing I will say is such changes will likely become more rare as we launch and development slows down.

As for the Content-Type, it looks like you found a bug! You can track the issue here #1089, but I would start working on transitioning everything over to text/plain. Right now, both will be accepted, but the correct behavior is to reject application/jose+json.

cheers @bmw, i've switched to text/plain now Updates for Letsencrypt client support · centminmod/centminmod@eb889de · GitHub

as to suggestions for notification of changes, not sure if discourse supports it, but do forum caetgories get individual rss feeds ? on my forums using Xenforo each sub forum can support rss feeds - so i setup a dedicated sub forum for git commit updates i.e. https://community.centminmod.com/forums/centmin-mod-github-commits.41/ which has it's own rss feed at https://community.centminmod.com/forums/centmin-mod-github-commits.41/index.rss - folks can follow the rss feed for updates or registered members can subscribe and watch that particular sub forum for email notification updates

Now for letsencrypt you probably don't want all commits tracked as such, so maybe just a category for client-dev (which you already have i see Client dev - Let's Encrypt Community Support) and you can manually post major changes that affect client domain verification etc and then folks can subscribe to the rss feed or category itself for updates and can reply to individual change threads if they have questions or clarifications.

edit: okay i see you can track/watch categories

so all that's left is posting such major changes into client-dev category
