## NiftyNet admin tasks
+### Adding release notes
+
+The notes for NiftyNet releases are kept in the [NiftyNet changelog][changelog], and follow the ["keep a changelog"
+standards][keep-a-changelog]. Notes should be added for each release, highlighting the changes in the appropriate
+sections. See for instance [this commit][sample-changelog-commit]. Following the tagging of the new release on GitHub
+ (see the section below), the release notes can be synchronised with the [GitHub release page][github-release-page]
+ using [chandler][chandler]
+
