 because predicting the future is difficult. This road map also doesn't
 give any dates, this is a hobby project. It's also open for discussion.

+Ick is now usable by others. If you try ick and have problems, do tell
+us, see the [[contact]] page for contact information.
+
+Ick is by no means an abandoned project, but we're taking a breather
+while waiting for other developments. Most imporantly, ick will want a
+web UI, and that and other features will require end-user
+authentication. The Qvisqve software ick uses for authentication will
+be getting that support in 2018. Once it does, ick start adding
+support for that.
+
+Until then, the plan is to make small, incremental improvements to
+ick, fix bugs, improve documentation, smooth rought corners, and
+gather experience on using ick.
+
+The long-term goal is to develp ick into a hosted service, which can
+be run on a commercial basis, without compromising on software
+freedom.
