How can I help with the development versions?
-Hold tight for now until development for &gnomedevelver; - gets under way.
+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.
What is the current state of development GNOME on FreeBSD?
-GNOME &gnomever; has just been released, and development on - &gnomedevelver; has not yet begun. Stay tuned.
+The first release of GNOME &gnomedevelver;, 2.11.3, has + been released. Don't be the last thrill-seeker to + upgrade!
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 + + development branch FAQ + + .
+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.
