 It’s a free and open source feed reader for macOS.
 
-It supports [RSS](http://cyber.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html), [Atom](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4287), [JSON Feed](https://jsonfeed.org/), and [RSS-in-JSON](https://github.com/scripting/Scripting-News/blob/master/rss-in-json/README.md) formats.
+It’s not in beta yet. Not even alpha! While NetNewsWire 5.0 is feature-complete as of May 25, 2019, it has known bugs — and, surely, plenty of unknown bugs.
 
-It’s barely usable at this point. Barely. Probably not even. A whole bunch of things haven’t been done yet. (See the [bug tracker](https://github.com/brentsimmons/NetNewsWire/milestone/1)).

 #### On accepting pull requests
 
 It’s pretty early still, and we have strong opinions about how we want to do things, so we’re not seeking help just yet.
 
 That said, we will seriously consider any pull requests we do get. Just note that we may not accept them, or we may accept them and do a bunch of revision.
 
-It’s probably a good idea to let us know first what you’d like to do. ([Ask on Micro.blog](https://micro.blog/brentsimmons), or email brent@ranchero.com, or post something to the [bug tracker](https://github.com/brentsimmons/NetNewsWire/issues).)
+It’s probably a good idea to let us know first what you’d like to do. The best place for that is definitely the [Slack group](https://join.slack.com/t/netnewswire/shared_invite/enQtNjM4MDA1MjQzMDkzLTNlNjBhOWVhYzdhYjA4ZWFhMzQ1MTUxYjU0NTE5ZGY0YzYwZWJhNjYwNTNmNTg2NjIwYWY4YzhlYzk5NmU3ZTc).
 
-In the future — some time after 5.0 ships — we expect to want contributions. The plan is *not* to make this a one-person show forever.
+We do plan to add more and more contributors over time. Totally. But we’re taking it slow as we learn how to manage an open source project.
