    way.  The network model is also entirely different compared to IRC.
 
 
+Q: Why SILC in the first place?
+A: Simply for fun, nothing more.  An actually for need back then when
+   it was started.  SILC has been very interesting and educational
+   project.
+
+
+Q: When SILC will be completed?
+A: SILC still has a lot things to do.  The time of completion is much
+   related to how many interested people is willing to join the effort.
+   It will be ready when it is ready.  The reason for release of the
+   current development version is just to get it out and people aware
+   that something like this exist.
+
+
+Q: Why use SILC? Why not IRC with SSL?
+A: Sure, that is possible, although, does that secure the entire IRC
+   network? And does that increase or decrease the lags and splits in
+   the IRC network?  SILC is not meant to be IRC replacement.  IRC is
+   good for some things, SILC is good for same and some other things.

 Q: Can I use SILC with IRC client?  What about can I use IRC with SILC
    client?
 A: Answer for both question is no.  IRC client is in no way compatible
-   with SILC server.  SILC client cannot currenly use IRC but this may
+   with SILC server.  SILC client cannot currently use IRC but this may
    change in the future if IRC support is added to the SILC client.  
    After that one could use both SILC and IRC with the same client.
    Although, even then one cannot talk from SILC network to IRC network.
    That just is not possible.
 
 
+Q: Why SILC? Why not IRC3?
+A: Question that is justified no doubt of that.  I didn't start doing SILC
+   to be replacement for IRC.  SILC was something that didn't exist in
+   1996 or even today except that SILC is now released.  However, I did
+   check out the IRC3 project in 1997 when I started coding and planning
+   the SILC protocol.
+
+   But, IRC3 is problematic. Why? Because it still doesn't exist.  The
+   project is at the same spot where it was in 1997 when I checked it out.
+   And it was old project back then as well.  Couple of months ago I 
+   checked it again and nothing were happening.  That's the problem of IRC3
+   project.  The same almost happened to SILC as well as I wasn't making
+   real progress over the years.  I talked to the original author of IRC,
+   Jarkko Oikarinen, in 1997 and he directed me to the IRC3 project, 
+   although he said that IRC3 is a lot of talking and not that much of 
+   anything else.  I am not trying to put down the IRC3 project but its
+   problem is that no one in the project is able to make a decision what
+   is the best way to go about making the IRC3 and I wasn't going to be
+   part of that.  The fact is that if I would've gone to IRC3 project,
+   nor IRC3 or SILC would exist today.  I think IRC3 could be something
+   really great if they just would get their act together and start
+   coding the thing.
