+      <p>Xfce is a free software desktop environment for Unix and
+	Unix-like platforms, such as FreeBSD. It aims to be fast and
+	lightweight, while still being visually appealing and easy to use.</p>
+
+      <p>During this quarter, the team has kept up-to-date the following
+	applications:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>misc/xfce4-weather-plugin 0.8.5</li>
+	<li>science/xfce4-equake-plugin 1.3.6</li>
+	<li>sysutils/xfce4-netload-plugin 1.2.4</li>
+	<li>sysutils/xfce4-systemload-plugin 1.1.2</li>
+	<li>www/midori 0.5.9</li>

+	<li>deskutils/xfce4-volumed-pulse</li>
+	<li>x11/xfce4-dashboard</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>Moreover, we are working on the next stable release, below list
+	of ports updated:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>sysutils/xfce4-power-manager 1.4.2</li>
+	<li>x11/xfce4-dashboard 0.3.4</li>
+	<li>x11-wm/xfce4-session 4.11.1</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>We sent some patches to upstream.</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>bug <a href="https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11104">#11104</a>, to keep 'wallpaper settings' in Ristretto with xfdesktop >= 4.11</li>
+	<li>bug <a href="https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11249">#11249</a>, add 'Hidden' option in desktop item editor (refused)</li>
