+=head1 release_guide.pod - guide to Rakudo releases
+
+Rakudo's development release cycle is based on Parrot's release
+cycle.  Parrot releases the third Tuesday of each month; Rakudo
+will generally issue its own development release two days after
+the Parrot release.
+
+Each development release is given a sequential number and a 
+code name based on an active Perl Mongers group.  Rakudo's
+February 2009 release is #14; prior releases were bundled as
+part of monthly Parrot releases.
