+**Title:** Improve server configuration and documentation </br>
+**Date:** 2021-12-09 </br>
+
+# Summary
+Make server configuration more robust and dynamically updatable without restart.
+
+# Description
+All server configurations are currently done via command-line arguments.  This
+may be OK for settings that last through a log's entire lifetime.  However, it
+is inappropriate for parameters like `--witnesses` which are not static.
+
+Reading a configuration file at start and when receiving, say, SIGHUP, is an
+alternative.  Implementing a "control port", typically via a TCP endpoint, where
+an administrator can "program" the log instance is another alternative.
+
+This issue requires some design considerations before getting started.  It would
+be good to improve documentation on how to run sigsum-log-go at the same time.
