+ Import of MATE
+
+
+
+ GNOME is a desktop environment and graphical user interface
+ that runs on top of a computer operating system. GNOME is part
+ of the GNU Project and can be used with various Unix-like
+ operating systems, including &os;.
+
+ In this quarter, MATE 1.6 was finally imported into the
+ Ports Collection, thanks to the efforts of Jeremy Messenger.
+ MATE is a desktop environment forked from the now-unmaintained
+ code base of GNOME 2, therefore it is basically a
+ replacement for GNOME 2. It recommended for users wanting
+ to keep GNOME 2 as their desktop to switch as GNOME 2
+ will be replaced by GNOME 3 in the near future. This
+ switch will be announced in advance, so people will have time to
+ move to MATE if they have not already. The complete MATE-based
+ desktop environment can be installed via the x11/mate
+ port, or, for a minimal install, x11/mate-base.
+
+ Our home page is quite out of date. An update for it for
+ GNOME 3.6 is underway. Part of this update is rewriting
+ and updating the old GNOME porting guide as a chapter of the
+ Porter's Handbook.
+
+ Another major task required for getting a bleeding-edge GNOME
+ build on &os; mostly out-of-the box is moving to JHbuild with
+ some custom rules. This is done to find and fix compile issues
+ on other BSDs more quickly.
+
+
+
+ GNOME 2 ports still need to be sorted out to evaluate
+ which GNOME 2 components will gone or be replaced with
+ their newer GNOME 3 versions. This task is current halted
+ until we can get the documentation into a shape good enough to
+ gather the issues and document the migration, including how not
+ to do that when the upgrade is not preferred. (This does not
+ mean we do not want to know about these issues, though).
+
+ Help the X11 Team with Cairo 1.12, since the next
+ version of GNOME 3 (3.12) will need an up-to-date version
+ of Pango and GTK 3.
