+## Implementation
+
+After long evaluation, we have reached the conclusion that the current version of the platform,
+GrimoireLab 1.0, requires major changes to accomplish all the goals defined
+above. These will be disruptive changes that require deep modifications on the architecture.
+
+For this reason, we have decided to set the current version of the platform
+in maintenance mode to put all our effort into developing what will be
+GrimoireLab 2.0. Initially, GrimoireLab 1.x will only receive bug fixes from
+the maintainers. However, we will accept contributions from the community.
+
+The active development will happen mainly on
+[grimoirelab-core](https://github.com/chaoss/grimoirelab-core) repository.
