Hi all,
I was quite delighted to see some recent contributions. I wanted to let 
everyone know my plans. Those who have been with us since the beginning 
remember the "Quanta is dead" rumors when we were late releasing a KDE3 
version. Currently Andras remains quite busy and will not likely have much 
time for the project. As for me I have managed to accomplish most of my 
required milestones for a business expansion... Unfortunately I still have a 
few little bottlenecks and details I'm making slower progress on. My wife and 
I are discussing new business strategies and working toward a more automated 
business model. 

I'm not going to say I will have all the time in the world right away or that 
I'm rich. However as I get a few more things taken care of I will be seeing 
more time freedom and enough finances not to be stressed like I have been in 
years passed. Andras and I were discussing today setting aside some time for 
a visit to just code on Quanta. Obviously as those plans begin to evolve I'd 
want to contact Niko and see what his availability is.

January normally begins my slow time of year but this year I expect to begin 
seeing more business. At the same time I anticipate less demands on my time 
beyond the programming I need to do for internal applications. I plan to 
start out next year looking at what we need to do and quite probably looking 
for a developer we can sponsor too, as well as looking to get more 
involvement for volunteer development. In addition to finishing the port I 
want to look at ways we can improve and enhance Quanta for various uses and 
especially team development. I will want to get feedback from people on the 
list especially as we do that. This means hopefully a KDE4 version we can all 
use well before the middle of next year... First we assess and plan, then we 
set a date. Thanks to all for your patience. Happy holidays.
