+== Release Manager ==
+
+The current release manager is Ryan52 starting from 0.46 (Sept 2009) for about one month
+
+== Release schedule ==
+
+The exact release schedule is decided by the current release manager, below are the general guidelines
+
+Padre is released to CPAN about once every week when trunk seems to be in a stable state.
+
+Once a month we set aside a version for a "packaged" release for which we use a longer time on the release branch.
+
+We take the latest regular release and base the "packaged" release right on the regular release.
+So for example we have 0.43, 0.44, regular releases then based on 0.44 we create a release branch for 0.45
+We give the translators a few days to catch up on this branch. That time will also allow
+people to give feedback on 0.44 so we can fix really critical issues on the 0.45 branch.
+
+This release should be scheduled just a few days after Rakudo is released.
+
+Once it is done CSJewell  creates the windows [wiki:Distribution distributions] based on Strawberry Perl.
+
+That means we have these "packaged" and translated releases by ~ 20-25th of every month.
