 The state machine is kept in sync through the use of a replicated log.
 
 For more details on Raft, you can read [In Search of an Understandable Consensus Algorithm](https://ramcloud.stanford.edu/wiki/download/attachments/11370504/raft.pdf) by Diego Ongaro and John Ousterhout.

+## Project Status
+
+The go-raft library is nearly complete.
+There is a reference implementation called [raftd](https://github.com/benbjohnson/raftd) that demonstrates how to use the library 
+
+The library will be considered experimental until it has significant production usage.
+I'm writing the library for the purpose of including distributed processing in my behavioral analytics database called [Sky](https://github.com/skydb/sky).
+However, I hope other projects can benefit from having a distributed consensus protocol so the go-raft library is available under MIT license.
+
+If you have a project that you're using go-raft in, please add it to this README and send a pull request so others can see implementation examples.
+If you have any questions on implementing go-raft in your project, feel free to contact me on [GitHub](https://github.com/benbjohnson), [Twitter](https://twitter.com/benbjohnson) or by e-mail at [ben@skylandlabs.com](mailto:ben@skylandlabs.com).
