+      <p>The KDE/&os; Team have continued to improve the experience of
+	KDE software and Qt under &os;.</p>
+
+      <p>During this quarter, the team has kept most of the KDE and Qt
+	ports up-to-date, working on the following releases:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>KDE SC: 4.12.2, 4.12.3, and 4.12.4; Workspace: 4.11.6,
+	  4.11.7, and 4.11.8</li>
+	<li>Qt: 5.2.1</li>
+	<li>KDevelop: 4.6.0</li>
+	<li>Digikam (and KIPI-plugins): 3.5.0</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>As a result — according to PortScout —
+	<tt>kde@</tt> has 526 ports (up from 464), of which 98.86% are
+	up-to-date (up from 88.15%).  iXsystems continues to provide a
+	machine for the team to build packages and to test updates.
+	They have been providing the KDE/&os; team with support for
+	quite a long time and we are very grateful for that.</p>
+
+      <p>A major change has been the depreciation of the KDE3 ports and
+	the move of the <tt>KDE4_PREFIX</tt> to <tt>LOCALBASE</tt>.
+	Also, work on Qt5 continues to maturity.  &a.rakuco; has been
+	working with upstream to ensure Baloo (Nepomuk successor in KDE
+	SC 4.13) compiles and runs on non-Linux systems.  His work not
+	only benefits &os; but other BSDs and OS X.</p>
+
+      <p>As usual, the team is always looking for more testers and
+	porters, so please contact us and visit our home page (see
+	links).  It would be especially useful to have more helping
+	hands on tasks such as getting rid of the dependency on the
+	defunct HAL project and providing integration with KDE's
+	Bluedevil Bluetooth interface.</p>
