<p><b>How can I help with the development versions?</b></p>
<!-- A6 -->
<p>Hold tight for now until development for &gnomedevelver;
gets under way.</p>
<p>Start grabbing ports or packages, and let us know how GNOME
&gnomedevelver; handles. We are
looking for build and run problems as well as user
experiences. If you are artistic, start thinking about
FreeBSD GNOME splash screens as well as themes for GNOME
2.12.</p>

<p>GNOME &gnomever; has just been released, and development on
&gnomedevelver; has not yet begun. Stay tuned.</p>
<p>The first release of GNOME &gnomedevelver;, 2.11.3, has
been released. Don't be the last thrill-seeker to
upgrade!</p>

<title>GNOME 2.11.3 available for FreeBSD</title>
<p>GNOME 2.11.3 has been released, and FreeBSD ports are
ready with packages on the way! The FreeBSD GNOME team has
been working like crazy to get this release out the door.
Unfortunately, the GNOME project has not made any official
release announcements, so this release only has one new
module, gnomekeyringmanager. Get your copy now from our

<title>FreeBSD GNOME to drop FreeBSD 4.X support</title>
<p>Starting with GNOME 2.11, and continuing with the release
of 2.12 and beyond, the FreeBSD GNOME team will no longer
support the GNOME Desktop on FreeBSD 4.X. Some of lower-level
components will be supported, however. FreeBSD 4.X lacks many
of the features needed for a modern desktop, and there are
now two stable 5.X releases with 6.0 around the corner. If
you haven't done so already, now would be a good time to
upgrade to 5.X or 6.0.</p>
