+:?: It would be great to publish some kind of release roadmap.
-:!: In the past, we published releases irregularly. To make planning for users and developers easier, we switched to a six month release schedule. Feature freeze are now due at 1:th February and 1:th August each year. Following that are release candidates and then the final release. However, no one is working full time on [[:DokuWiki]] (and we have lives, too) so we can't give any hard release days.
+:!: 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 with getting releases ready on time (even if you can't code) by joining a [[:team]] and helping.
+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/dokuwiki/dokuwiki/projects?type=classic|project]] or [[https://github.com/dokuwiki/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/dokuwiki/dokuwiki/releases|GitHub]] ([[https://github.com/dokuwiki/dokuwiki/releases.atom|RSS feed]] available) or our Download page.
