The roadmap (2017-2019) - from January 2017 - needs likely some overhaul since there is now 

      developper compensation:

• $100k expense
• see poll

milestones:

Who created the milestone blocks?

• e.g. you can see that user ALIEN got lucky twice
• time distance shows with high percentage values that between these blocks it took the longest time in comparison to other milestone blocks (e.g. the longest time it took from 200k to 300k blocks)

Our net weight, which is important for security, rose to records in the last 2 weeks, see here.

We recently had another milestone event: 

• more than 1 year doing Gridcoin conference community calls here on steemit's mumble platform
• why not listen to one of our many conference calls?
