+      <p>This quarter has seen seven updates to the
+	<tt>wine-devel</tt> port that closely tracks upstream
+	development as well as updates to its helper ports
+	(<tt>wine-gecko-devel</tt> and <tt>wine-mono-devel</tt>):</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>Stable releases: 1.6.2 (1 port revision)</li>
+	<li>Development releases: 1.7.40 through 1.7.46</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>The <tt>i386-wine-devel</tt> port has packages built for amd64 for
+	&os; 8.4, 9.1+, 10.1+ and CURRENT.</p>
+
+      <p>Accomplishments include:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>Rename <tt>wine-compholio</tt> to
+	  <tt>wine-staging</tt> (to match upstream developments).</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>Future development on Wine will focus on:</p>
+      <ul>
+	<li>Add the <tt>getdirentries(2)</tt> patch to the wine-devel port.</li>
+	<li>Redevelop and upstream the <tt>getdirentries(2)</tt> patch.</li>
+	<li>Redevelop and upstream the kernel32 <tt>Makefile</tt> patch.</li>
+	<li>Add support to the <tt>i386-wine</tt> port for pkg 1.5 (library
+	  conflicts currently prevent support).</li>
+	<li>Add support for WoW64:
+	  <ul>
+	    <li>Reduce the <tt>i386-wine</tt> port to just the components
+	      required for WoW64.</li>
+	    <li>Rename the <tt>i386-wine</tt> port to
+	      <tt>wow64</tt>.</li>
+	    <li>Make the wine ports depend on the wow64 ports when built
+	      on amd64.</li>
+	    <li>Investigate and verify the interactions between Wine64
+	      and WoW64.</li>
+	    <li>Investigate possible update approaches for the
+	      wow64 ports (that have to be pre-compiled) and how updating
+	      with the wine ports will work.</li>
+	  </ul>
+	</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p> Maintaining and improving Wine is a major undertaking
+	that directly impacts end-users on &os; (including many
+	gamers).  If you are interested in helping please contact us.
+	We will happily accept patches, suggest areas of focus or have
+	a chat.</p>
