Hi @codinghorror, other Discourse team members - In light of the 10, or 6, year plan for Discourse, what’s the plan for six years from now? Is there an end date to the Discourse project? ![23 AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/7/f/7fbc64e072d1efeaa9269670c59078f601cb4c51.png) ---

No, there is not an end date. I just don’t plan further ahead than that because there are too many variables at that time distance. ---

For reference, the 10 years come from the description of Discourse used since the [very beginning](https://blog.codinghorror.com/civilized-discourse-construction-kit/): > Discourse is the 100% open source discussion platform built for the next decade of the Internet.
