+<h2>Welcome</h2>
+<p>
+Thank you for installing GNU Octave!
+</p>
+<p>
+Octave 3.8 is a major new release with many new features, including an
+experimental graphical user interface.  But because the GUI is not
+quite as polished as we would like, we have decided to wait until the
+4.0.x release series before making the GUI the default interface.
+</p>
+<p>
+See the release notes or the "Experimental GUI Info" button in the GUI
+for more information about the release and how you can help us with
+GUI development and speed up the 4.0 release.
+</p>
+<h2>Included Octave Forge Packages</h2>

+however they need to be installed in order to use them.
