+"first Jim goal: to vent my need to hack on Tcl."
+
+And actually this is exactly why I started Jim, in the first days
+of Jenuary 2005. After a month of hacking Jim was able to run
+simple scripts, now, after two months it started to be clear to
+me that it was not just the next toy to throw away but something
+that may evolve into a real interpreter. In the same time
+Pat Thoyts and Clemens Hintze started to contribute code, so that
+the development of new core commands was faster, and also more
+people hacking on the same code had as result fixes in the API,
+C macros, and so on.
+
+Currently we are at the point that the core interpreter is nearly
+done. There is to add some more core command, to do a code review
+to ensure quality of all the parts and to write documentation.
+
+The next step will be to start key extensions like OOP, event loop,
+I/O, networking, regexp, ..., and to end the extensions already
+available: win32, win32com, posix.
