Hello Vadim,

Just for the record, the two original Quanta developers left the Free/KDE 
version of the project a long time ago to pursue other interests, so any 
promises made by them 2 years ago are out of context, IMHO. Basically, KDE 
Quanta was thus left in the lurch.

Thanks though to the efforts and financial sponsorship of Eric Laffoon, 
Quanta was fully revived about a year ago and since then the release of 
version 2 for KDE2 finally happened, then the port to KDE3, then the release 
of version 3 just a couple of days ago. Version 3.1 is due to be released as 
part of KDE3.1. As well as all that in a relatively short period of time, 
Quanta was transformed from a specific HTML editor into a generic 
XHTML/XML/SGML editor and has had many other requested features added to it. 
WYSIWYG is a part of the future plan as I understand it, but I hope you can 
see that it was not the number one priority for the existing users.

Apologies for getting OT on the KOffice list.

Cheers,
Sean
