Uh, you might be right. I read the first sentence ("developing in 
Quanta") as "writing XML pages". 

Well, for every new developer who wants to join, I recommend to check 
out the branches/work/kdevquanta module from svn. This is a start of 
porting Quanta to the KDevelop framework. The README file there 
describes how to install it. [Correction: KDevelop is needed from the 
3.5 branch, not from SVN trunk!]

This version is much superior code wise to the current Quanta. It has 
more class and method documentation, the structure of the code is more 
logical, not monolithic, like the current one. And altough we did not 
work on it since July, it will be the next Quanta and I will start to 
work on it full speed once 3.5 is released (soon will happen). 

The TODO file there lists some things that were not yet completed. Of 
couse, many other things should be ported from the current version, but 
what is there is a good start and it is already somewhat usable.

As it is mentioned you need KDevelop not for developing itself, but 
because this version of Quanta depends on the KDevelop libraries. 
KDevelop has its API docs available on www.kdevelop.org or you can 
generate them from the source.

Once you could get it compile and started to work, you can ask questions 
here. 

Read the DESIGN and HACKING files as well!

I would be really happy if I could get some coding help. :-)
