+Hello!
 
-New Branching strategy short version:
+The release of R15B is approaching, the preliminary release date is 14th of December.
 
-The branch 'master' will be the upcoming major release (e.g. R15).
-Branch from this to submit patches for the next major release.
-(New features and major changes)
+The code stop for me, and thus for patches from you, is Wednesday the 30th November.
+Keep in mind that that date is for patches that are reviewed and done by that date, so if you want to have your patch included in R15, you need to send it in asap.
 
-New branch 'maint' will be introduced AFTER R15, and will be the next maintenance release (e.g. R15B01) 
-Branch from this to submit patches for the next maintenance release.
-(Bug fixes and minor changes)
+
+After the release of R15B we will introduce the new 'maint' branch and the new 'maint-pu' branch for patches.
+See the wiki for more information about what branch to base your patch-branches upon.
