+# Quarterly Objectives and Key Results
+
+We try to frame our ongoing work using a process based on quarterly Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). Objectives reflect outcomes that are challenging, but realistic. Results are tangible and measurable.
+
+## 2018 Q4
+
+**go-ipfs handles large datasets (1TB++) without a sweat**
+- `P0` - It takes less than 48 hours to transfer 1TB dataset over Fast Ethernet (100Mbps)
+- `P0` @hannahhoward - List a sharded directory with 1M entries over LAN in under 1 minute, with less than a second to the first entry.
+- `PX` - There is a prototype implementation of GraphSync for go-ipfs
+- `P0` @schomatis - There is a better and more performant datastore module (e.g Badger or better)
+- `P1` - Rewrite pinning data structure to support large pinsets and flexible pin modes
+
+**The bandwidth usage is reduced significantly and is well kept under control**
+- `P1` - Spec and draft implementation of allowing users to opt out of providing every IPLD node (and only provide root hashes)
+- `P0` - Bitswap improvements reduce number of duplicate blocks downloaded by 75%
+- `P0` @stebalien - The number of messages sent by Bitswap is on average <= 2x the number of blocks received
+
+**It is a joy to use go-ipfs programatically**
+- `PX` @magik6k - The Core API is finalized and released. Make it easier to import go-ipfs as a package
+- `PX` @magik6k - go-ipfs-api exposes the new Core API
+- `PX` @magik6k - go-ipfs Daemon, Gateway, and cmds library use the new Core API
+- `PX` @magik6k - The legacy non Core API is deprecated and the diagram on go-ipfs README is updated
+
+**go-ipfs becomes a well maintained project**
+- `P2` @eingenito - The Go Contributing Guidelines are updated to contemplate expecations from Core Devs and instructions on how to be an effective contributor (e.g include PR templates)
+- `P1` @eingenito - A Lead Maintainer Protocol equivalent is proposed, reviewed by the team, merged and implemented
+- `P0` @eingenito - Every issue on https://waffle.io/ipfs/go-ipfs gets triaged (reviewed and labeled following https://github.com/ipfs/pm/blob/master/GOLANG_CORE_DEV_MGMT.md)
+- `P0` @eingenito - Every non-trivial PR is first reviewed by someone other than @Stebalien before he looks at it.
+- `P2` - Every package has tests and tests+code coverage are running on Jenkins
+- `P2` - There is an up-to-date Architecture Diagram of the Go implementation of IPFS that links packages to subsystems to workflows
+- `P2` @schomatis - go-unixfs is more maintainable with improved code, comments and documentation
+
+@momack2 Could you help me phrase these ones with a KR-oriented approach?
+
+**gx becomes a beloved tool by the Go Core Contributors**
+- `P0` @travisperson - You can update a minor version of a transitive dependancy without updating intermediate dependancies
+- `P0` @travisperson - go-ipfs doesn't have checked-in gx paths
+
+**Complete outstanding endeavours and still high priorities from Q3**
+- `P0` @kevina - base32 is supported and enabled by default
+- `P1` - go-ipfs gets a unixfsV2 spec and prototype
+- `P2` @djdv - Add mutable methods (r+w) to the new mount implementation and get it building+tested on all supported
+platforms
+- `P1` @schomatis - MFS behavior and implementation is performant and correct
