   solution integrated in the C code (creating rendered graphics) and / or a
   JavaScript-based solution which renders graphs in the browser.
 
+  In the future it shall be possible to use multiple data providers in
+  parallel. The vision is to have multiple servers running RRDCacheD. Data is
+  distributed to those servers using the "Hashed" match of collectd and then a
+  unified interface is provided via c4.
+
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+
+  c4 currently requires the following libraries:
+
+  * libfcgi
+    <http://www.fastcgi.com/>
+
+  * librrd_th (thread-safe version of librrd)
+    <http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/>
+
+  * libyajl
+    <http://lloyd.github.com/yajl/>
+
+  The "configure" script is currently kept minimal. It may therefore be
+  necessary to set the CPP- and LD-flags manually. In case of libyajl, which is
+  not built with libtool, you may need to set the rpath, too.
+
+
+Bugs
+----
+
+  * Sending a FLUSH command to the collectd process is not yet possible.
+  * "*_get_rrdargs" functions and other RRDtool specific cruft is still all
+    over the code-base.
+  * The JSON-based interface is unstable.
+  * Currently it's not possible to display more than one graph at a time.
+    (With a very limited and undocumented exception.)
+  * Speaking of which: There is no documentation.
+  * ... (to be added)
