Wagtail is an open source content management system built on Django, with a strong community and commercial support. It's focused on user experience, and offers precise control for designers and developers.

Feature releases of Wagtail are released every three months. Selected releases are designated as Long Term Support (LTS) releases, and will receive maintenance updates for an extended period to address any security and data-loss related issues. For dates of past and upcoming releases and support periods, see [Release Schedule](https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/wiki/Release-schedule).
To try out the latest features before a release, we also create builds from `main` every night. You can find instructions on how to install the latest nightly release at https://releases.wagtail.org/nightly/index.html
If you're a Python or Django developer, fork the repo and get stuck in! We have several developer focused channels on the [Slack workspace](https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/wiki/Slack).
