+      <p>In this quarter, we are pleased to announce two (of many) works achieved in the Linuxulator.</p>
+
+      <p>We added a new placeholder marker <tt>UNIMPLEMENTED</tt> to
+	accompany the previously existing <tt>DUMMY</tt>, for
+	distinguishing syscalls that the Linux kernel itself does not
+	implement from those that we currently do not implement.  Now
+	our <tt>linux_dummy.c</tt> is clearer for the newcomers to
+	follow, and they will quickly know which areas they can start
+	working on.</p>
+
+	<p>Support for two new syscalls, <tt>preadv</tt> and
+	  <tt>pwritev</tt>, was added to the Linuxulator.</p>
+    </body>

+    <help>
+      <task>We plan to implement the <tt>execveat</tt> syscall for the
+	native &os; syscall table and then port/wrap it for use in
+	the Linuxulator.</task>
