Hi Sara,

Some comments, based on people I have spoke on the CENTR last week

The point would be to help us understand the users' perspective better and prioritise _the order_ we do these developments in.

One of the things that was discussed during the CENTR was ECDSA and why
nobody it is using it. One of the key points is that vendors and tools
are lacking support. So ECDSA support in PKCS#11 and the possibility to
switch algorithms is something which I think is important.

Two organizations mentioned on the hallway that they are waiting for
this functionality.

Database adapter and Plugin adapter are two different names for the same
thing.

ECDSA that is. See comment above.
