+      <p>Glib 2.36 and Gtk 3.8 were imported into the ports
+	tree.  The GNOME Team is currently working on improving the
+	quality of GNOME 3.6.  The version of
+	<tt>multimedia/cheese</tt> shipped with GNOME 3 is now able
+	to use <tt>devd(8)</tt> to find the camera through
+	<tt>multimedia/webcamd</tt>.  Several build improvements have
+	been made to the <tt>www/webkit-gtk3</tt> port, however it still
+	is rather fragile.</p>
+
+      <p>MATE is about ready to go in.</p>
+
+      <p>GNOME 2 will be removed at some point in the near future.
+	How or when this will happen is not yet clear.</p>
