Hi Eric,

your mail did help me to understand more, thanks. 

I have very limited resources for Quanta in the moment. One of the reasons is 
here (http://www.khmeros.info/drupal). This led me to set priorities. My 
personal priorities are different from yours and as I never mentioned them I 
will do it here now. 

1. transition to KDevelop is my top priority. I will not work on the "old" 
Quanta anymore because I really believe that KDevelop framework is the 
future. In the moment I read and hear everything about Quanta with the idea 
of how can this be integrated in KDevelop and how would it be usefull for 
other languages there. 

2. I will not work on team development if the groundwork is not done. That 
means implementing some features that are missing, like integrated link 
check, KWallet, Config XT, KHotNewStuff etc. This does also mean a clear 
concept about what do we want to achieve with team development. Quanta misses 
basic thinks like how to protect files from concurrent access. Until this is 
not done, I am not interested in advanced features for team development. 

3. I am not interested in reinventing the wheel. Creating our own solutions 
for messages or to-do lists is a no-go for me. Integration into the KDE 
desktop is the way to go. Why should I want to have messages in KMail and 
Quanta, why should I want to have to-do lists in KOrganizer and Quanta? So we 
could think about a bridge between KMail and Quanta and KOrganizer and 
Quanta. I would think about how to display a folder from KMail in Quanta but 
never how to create my own messaging system. 

I am not against support for team development. But actually everything happens 
in your mind and at private contacts with Andras so that I feel outside of 
this development. I am confident that your ideas and mine will coexist when 
we can use the KDevelop plugin system. 

Jens
