+      <p>CloudABI is a compact UNIX-like runtime environment inspired by
+	&os;'s Capsicum security framework.  It allows you to safely
+	run potentially untrusted programs directly on top of &os;,
+	Linux and macOS, without requiring the use of virtualisation,
+	jails, etc.  This makes it a useful building block for
+	cluster/cloud computing.</p>
+
+      <p>Over the last couple of months, several new libraries and
+	applications have been ported over to CloudABI, the most
+	important addition being Python 3.6.  This means that you can now
+	write strongly sandboxed apps in Python!</p>
+
+      <p>Support for different hardware platforms has also improved.  In
+	addition to amd64 and arm64, we now support i686 and armv6.
+	The release of LLVM 3.9 was important to us, as it has
+	integrated all the necessary changes to support the first three
+	platforms.  Full armv6 support is still blocked on some issues
+	with LLVM's linker, LLD.</p>

+      <task>Play around with CloudABI and let us know what you think of
+	it!  Full support for amd64 and arm64 is part of &os; 11.0.
+	i686 and armv6 support is only available on HEAD, but will be
+	merged to the stable/11 branch in the future.</task>
