+      <p>Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime
+	for easily building fast, scalable network applications.  It uses
+	an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight
+	and efficient — perfect for data-intensive real-time applications
+	that run across distributed devices.</p>
+
+      <p>The goal of this project is to make it easy to install the
+	modules available in the <a href="http://npmjs.org/">npm package
+	registry</a>.</p>
+
+      <p>Currently, the repository contains slightly fewer than 800
+	new ports, in particular:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>Socket.IO (a library for realtime web applications)</li>
+
+	<li>Jison (a JavaSript parser generator)</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>We have improved the USES framework:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>Users can define which version of Node.js will be
+	  installed through <tt>/etc/make.conf</tt>.</li>
+
+	<li><tt>node-gyp</tt> is now well-integrated into the USES
+	  framework, via the <strong>build</strong> argument.</li>
+
+	<li>The <tt>pkg-plist</tt> is now automatically generated,
+	  in order to make the <tt>portlint</tt> utility happy.</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>Each port is up-to-date.</p>
