+      <p>The &os; GNOME Team maintains the GNOME, MATE, and CINNAMON
+	desktop environments and graphical user interfaces for &os;.
+	GNOME 3 is part of the GNU Project.  MATE is a fork of the GNOME 2
+	desktop.  CINNAMON is a desktop environment using GNOME 3
+	technologies but with a GNOME 2 look and feel.</p>
+
+      <p>This quarter, GNOME 3.16 and MATE 1.10 were committed to the
+	ports tree, followed up by some incremental improvements.  A
+	chapter covering the use of USE_GNOME within individual ports'
+	Makefiles was written and committed to the porters handbook.</p>
+
+      <p>GNOME 3.18 has been ported.  There are, however, some issues
+	that need to be resolved before it can be committed to the
+	ports tree.
