+
+          <p>GNOME 2.16.1 is now available for FreeBSD, and it is in
+          the ports tree in time for FreeBSD 6.2 (no you are NOT
+          dreaming)! This is a first. Usually the GNOME release cycle
+          has conflicted with the FreeBSD release cycle. However,
+          thanks to Kris and pointyhat, we were able to get the major
+          patch tested. In addition to the core GNOME ports, almost 500
+          ports were also touched to chase the GNOME move from X11BASE
+          to LOCALBASE and fix build problems with the new freetype2.
+          The bulk of the move was carried out by ahze, mezz, and pav,
+          but it would not have been possible without cooperation from
+          the FreeBSD KDE team who worked with us to make sure GNOME
+          and KDE can still coexist happily. We would also like to send
+          a shout out to kris and pointyhat for putting up with
+          multiple test runs until we got something that was solid.</p>
+
+          <p>Back to GNOME 2.16. This release brings a huge amount of
+          new functionality to FreeBSD. Check out the standard
+          <a href="http://www.gnome.org/start/2.16/">release notes</a>
+
+          to get the official spiel from the GNOME camp. But on top of
+          what you will read there, jylefort and marcus have completed
+          work on a port of HAL to FreeBSD. This will allow FreeBSD to
+          take advantage of closer hardware interaction such as
+          auto-mounting CD-ROMs, USB drives, and music players;
+          auto-playing audio CDs; and managing laptop power
+          consumption.</p>
