+ Release notes
+===============
+
+Mailman 3 is a fully rewritten code base. The developers believe it has
+sufficient functionality to provide full mailing list services. It should be
+ready for production use by experienced system developers, but it may not be
+easy to install or run by novices.
+
+We expect it to be possible to migrate Mailman 2.1 mailing lists to Mailman 3,
+but sufficient caution, backups, and testing should be performed.
+
+We expect it to be possible to run Mailman 3 and Mailman 2.1 together on the
+same systems, but you may need to be quite experienced with configuring your
+mail server and web infrastructure.
+
+Mailman 3 may have bugs.
+
+Mailman 3 is not yet feature complete with Mailman 2.1.
+
+The documentation here describes the Mailman Core in great detail.
+Postorious, Hyperkitty, mailman.client, and the bundler are described and
+developed elsewhere.
