+
+# What will happen
+
+Well, there are at least some plans. Leon wants to work on CLI completion
+support and therefore is in the process of refactoring all binary crates (for
+more information see the mailinglist).
+We are also discussing about how to rewrite libimagtodo and I actually started
+to write some code for this.
+I also want to change a few details in the habit library, but I am not sure how
+to approach them yet. Most notably is the recurring implementation which is
+working but I am not satisfied yet.
+I also am thinking about moving the imag documentation from pandoc to something
+we can host on the website easily or maybe even build with CI. We do not do that
+with travis right now because building it with pandoc is just too much overhead.
+
+Maybe it is time to move the documentation to imag-wiki and use that for writing
+notes on imag.
