+      <p>Wine is a free and open source software application that aims
+	to allow applications designed for Microsoft Windows to run on
+	Unix-like operating systems, such as &os;.  The Wine/&os; Team
+	have continued to improve the experience of Wine under &os;.</p>
+
+      <p>During the fourth quarter of 2013, the team has kept Wine
+	updated by porting:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>Stable releases: 1.6 and 1.6.1</li>
+	<li>Development releases: 1.7.4 through 1.7.8</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>The ports have included packages built for <tt>amd64</tt>
+	(available through the Ports Collection).</p>
+
+      <p>The Wine ports have been kept up-to-date with the changes in
+	the Ports Collection, including some improvements:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>Building with Clang by default (via <tt>USES=compiler:c11</tt>).</li>
+	<li>Conditional X11 support (on by default; allowing for
+	  headless instances of Wine).</li>
+	<li>Staging support and other ports best practices.</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>Support in improving the experience of Wine on &os; is needed.
+	Key areas including fixing regressions, adding copy protection
+	scheme support and fixing regressions when using Wine under
+	&os;/<tt>amd64</tt>.</p>
