+      <p>GitLab is a web-based Git repository manager with many
+	features, used by more than 100.000 organizations, including NASA
+	and Alibaba.  It also is a very long-standing entry on the
+	"Wanted Ports" list on the &os; Wiki.</p>
+
+      <p>In the last month there was steady progress, which finally
+	resulted in the PR for adding the new port.  In addition to the
+	many dependencies &a.pgollucci; is working on, there was already a
+	large amount of work done.  In addition to  many new or updated
+	rubygems, Rails 4.1 was resurrected.  Many committers were
+	involved in the process and guided us through the various problems
+	and pitfalls.</p>
+
+      <p>Because of the number of dependencies — we nearly hit
+	100 — making progress takes some time.  In the meantime,
+	there is already a new major version of GitLab released, which
+	requires even more dependencies and updates.  Work on this version
+	is already in progress, but the first goal is to get the latest
+	stable version from the 7.14 branch into the ports tree.
