 ====== When will the next version be released? ======
-:?: It would be great, to publish some kind of Roadmap.
+:?: It would be great, to publish some kind of release roadmap.
-:!: No one is working full time on [[:DokuWiki]] (and we have lives, too) so it's hard to estimate when the next release will be ready. We usually do new release when some new features were added, all major known bugs were fixed and we think it is time to do a new release. We currently do that about every 6 to 9 months.
+:!: For a while we tried to adhere to a six month release schedule issuing new releases in Spring and Autumn. Unfortunately we're lacking the manpower to keep this strict schedule.
-You can help to speed this up by joining the [[:mailinglist]] and submitting bugfixes and implementing missing features.
+Instead we decided to do releases whenever we feel like there's something worth releasing. If you think it would be time for a release, you're welcome to ask for it on the [[:mailinglist|mailing list]]. In that case please be prepared to help us with the process by preparing an appropriate [[:changes|changelog]].
 If you are eager to try a newer version before it is released, fetch it from the [[:devel:Git]] repository or download one of the daily [[devel:snapshots]].
+Oftentimes when a release is near, a [[https://github.com/splitbrain/dokuwiki/milestones|milestone]] is created with issues that are in need of some love for the coming release. You are welcome to help complete or test them!
+Check for new releases on [[https://github.com/splitbrain/dokuwiki/releases|GitHub]] ([[https://github.com/splitbrain/dokuwiki/releases.atom|RSS feed]] available).
