+      <p>Xfce is a free software desktop environment for Unix and
+	Unix-like platforms including FreeBSD.  It aims to be fast and
+	lightweight while still being visually appealing and easy to
+	use.</p>
+
+      <p>There were no major updates in the ports tree except cosmetic
+	changes (fix pkg-plist, switch to USES= libtool, and so
+	on).</p>
+
+      <p>Still, the Xfce team continues to keep each piece of the Xfce
+	Desktop up to date. That is why we are working on the next
+	stable release (no date scheduled).</p>
+
+      <p>Major changes will be:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>Switch to USES</li>
+
+	<li>Support of GTK2 (default toolkits) and GTK3
+	  (optional)</li>
+
+	<li>GNOME like default icons theme</li>
+
+	<li>Enhance documentation (handbooks, FAQ)</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>Below is a list of current ports in the devel repository (see
+	link).</p>
