+# Roadmap
+
+We welcome participation from our user community in influencing the Zulip
+roadmap. If a bug or missing feature is causing significant pain for you, we'd
+love to hear from you, either in
+[chat.zulip.org](https://zulip.com/development-community/) or on the relevant
+GitHub issue.
+
+Please an include an explanation of your use case: such details can be extremely
+helpful in designing appropriately general solutions, and also helps us identify
+cases where an existing solution can solve your problem. See our guide on
+[suggesting features and improvements](../contributing/suggesting-features.md)
+for more details.
+
+## Server and web app roadmap
+
+The Zulip server project uses GitHub projects and labels to structure
+communication about priorities:
+
+- We use a [GitHub project
+  board](https://github.com/orgs/zulip/projects/9/views/13) to publicly track
+  goals for major releases. The items with the "Done" status will be included in
+  the next major release. Otherwise, the project board should be seen a list of
+  priorities being _considered_ for the release, not a guarantee that features
+  will be included. As the release date approaches, features that will not make
+  it into the release are dropped from the project board on an ongoing basis.
+
+- The [high priority][label-high] label tags issues that we consider important.
+  It is reviewed in the planning stage of the release cycle to identify
+  priorities for the next release.
+
+- The [help wanted][label-help-wanted] label tags issues that are open for
+  contributions.
+
+The Zulip community feels strongly that all the little issues are, in
+aggregate, just as important as the big things. Many resolved issues
+are never explicitly tagged as release goals.
+
+[label-high]: https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22priority%3A+high%22
+[label-help-wanted]: https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22help+wanted%22
+
+## Mobile app roadmap
+
+We use a [GitHub project
+board](https://github.com/orgs/zulip/projects/5/views/4) to publicly track
+milestones for Zulip's [next-generation mobile
+app](https://blog.zulip.com/2024/12/12/new-flutter-mobile-app-beta/).
