+- **Month 3-4**: Phase 2 (Network & Scaling)  
+- **Month 5-6**: Phase 3 (Advanced Features)
+- **Month 7-8**: Phase 4 (Quality of Life) + Polish
+
+## 🎯 Quick Wins (Can implement immediately)
+
+1. **USERHOST command** (1 day)
+2. **ISON command** (1 day)
+3. **TIME command** (1 day)
+4. **VERSION command** (1 day)
+5. **Enhanced LIST filtering** (2-3 days)
+6. **Ban exceptions (+e mode)** (2-3 days)
+7. **Invite exceptions (+I mode)** (2-3 days)
