Here is the Quanta Plus page on wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quanta_Plus

It needs our help.

I plan to update and/or address these issues as I have (spare) time
over the next week, but I wanted to get help from others in the
community rather than just appointing myself 'marketing manager'

[DONE] This page http://freephile.com/wiki/index.php/Quanta includes
content that will be added to the official wikipedia page.

This KDevelop page is a good example of what the QuantaPlus page could look like
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_integrated_development_environments
(note the KDE template, the Category links and the foreign-language
article links)

[Note: I already updated the Quata Plus page to use the KDE template,
and added the category links so this is DONE]

{{KDE}}

[[Category:KDE]]
[[Category:Free integrated development environments]]
[[Category:Linux integrated development environments]]

[[ca:KDevelop]]
[[de:KDevelop]]
[[es:KDevelop]]
[[eu:KDevelop]]
[[fr:KDevelop]]
[[gl:KDevelop]]
etc...

The Kate page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_%28text_editor%29
is also a good example of what the Quanta Plus page could look like.

By putting Quanta into the [[Category:Free text editor]] category, it
shows up automatically on this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Free_text_editors

Quanta should perhaps not be placed in the Free text editor category
since it's an IDE, but if it is in the text editor class, then it
should be part of this comparison page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_text_editors

This question here is do we want to try to market Quanta as
# Free Text Editor
# Free IDE
# Free HTML Editor
# All of the above

Related question:  Does marketing Quanta as a Free IDE make some
(KDevelop) people in the KDE project angry?  Or, is everyone trying to
pull together KDevelop and Quanta?  What can or should we say about
KDevelop and Quanta merging?

Also noteworthy on wikipedia is the fact that there is a 'Free
Software' Portal  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Free_software
In that portal, there is a 'categories' page that lists Integrated
Development Environments
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Free_integrated_development_environments
, which does not mention Quanta  [FIXED]

I also added Quanta to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_integrated_development_environments

This comparison of IDEs does not mention Quanta
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_integrated_development_environments

== Marketing on Freshmeat ==

Freshmeat Category of 'IDE'
http://freshmeat.net/browse/65/

Quanta Plus shows up as the 3rd most popular project in the category.
I wonder what needs to be done to make it the most popular (or at
least stay in the top three).
