Project Health

We are still continuing working as 2 teams – Iroha 1 and Iroha 2. Both teams develop features, fix issues, talk to the community. Still, once in 2 weeks we meet for our community meeting (where anyone could attend). Iroha 2 is planning to show their first working version soon, Iroha 1 constantly improving the production-ready versions and implemented a couple of very nice features to increase the performance and experience. We have questions from the community on various integrated projects which we might need to discuss soon (e.g using Burrow or Ursa).
