-[See the documentation index](doc/implementation/index.md)
+This currently is a one-person project in the sense that 90% of the code is
+written by one person. And (unfortunately) it is not my job to keep improving
+this project. Please forgive that as a consequence my time to invest on new
+features is rather limited.
+
+Nonetheless I consider it "in active development" :)
+
+One way of speeding things up is to make your own contributions. There is
+a good amount of high-level documentation at
+
+[the documentation index](doc/implementation/index.md)
+
+Note that most development happens on the `dev` branch of this repository!
