+
+          <p>GNOME 2.17.4 was
+          <a
+          href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/devel-announce-list/2006-December/msg00005.html">
+          released</a>
+
+          just in time for Christmas. The one new module that is
+          currently showing up in the FreeBSD port is
+          <a href="http://www.gnome.org/~jamiemcc/tracker/">Tracker</a>
+
+          . As soon as the final set of new GNOME 2.18 modules is
+          ratified, they will be added to the various meta-ports.
+          Additionally, work has mostly been completed on a clean up of
+          the FreeBSD libgtop backend. This means that applications
+          like gnome-system-monitor will become much more accurate on
+          FreeBSD. As always,
+          <a href="&base;/gnome/docs/develfaq.html">ports</a>
+
+          and
+          <a href="&base;/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q21">packages</a>
+
+          are available to get you started with GNOME 2.17 testing.</p>
