The effort of safeguarding current and future IT from quantum computers
implies more than the mere development of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) algorithms. Much work in this
respect is currently being conducted, making it hard to keep track of the many
individual challenges and respective solutions so far identified. In
consequence, it is difficult to judge, whether all (known) challenges have
been sufficiently addressed; and whether suitable solutions have been
provided. We present results of a literature survey and discuss discovered
challenges and solutions categorized into different areas; and utilize our
findings to evaluate the state of readiness for a full scale PQC migration. We
use our findings as starting point to initiate an open community project in
the form of a [website](https://fbi.h-da.de/cma) to keep track of the ongoing efforts and the state of the art in PQC research.
Thereby, we offer a single entry-point for the community into the subject
reflecting the current state in a timely manner.
