Greetings to the Quanta+ / KDE Docbook development team and authors!

this is Jeff Sabarese, a contributing editor / author for the Quanta+ 
documentation (though i've yet to contribute or edit anything). I'm 
touching base w/ you because i'm about to spend some of my available 
time on this project.

i discovered the Quanta+ "File Tree" for the first time only a few days 
ago when it opened unexpectedly (i'm not sure why, or how i got to the 
view, but it seemed to happen almost as a result of a bug), when the 
default view, panels and toolbars, or "window" placements suddenly 
seemed to take on a mind of their own, quite different from their 
"default" positions--and somehow through the process of getting the 
panels and editor window "back to normal", the remote File (Project) 
Tree became visible-- i believe it appeared as i tried some options of 
the menu: Window -> MDI Mode). The story does ramble-- so let me just 
say it was the File Tree which made me think of the "DreamWeaver Site", 
and inspired me to focus my thought on a potential tutorial / how to for 
this subject in the Quanta+ documentation-- perhaps leading a reader 
through a step-by-step "Using a Quanta+ Upload Profile Remote File Tree 
to Manage a Project . . . ".

looking at http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdewebdev/quanta/  , using a 
Firefox Ctrl+F on the Table of Contents reveals nothing about the 
Project Tree or / File Tree. however, this page does detail it:
http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdewebdev/quanta/quanta-projects-3-2.html

before i go on rambling, and re-writing this email yet again-- let me 
just stop myself and ask.
does it make sense for me to focus on this page (or this topic in 
general) as a starting point? i realize it's rather a random selection--
perhaps you advise something, related to my interest in this page, which 
might more appropriately become my contributions to documentation?

in the meantime-- because it is doing me a lot of good, i'm going to 
continue just looking around at the existing docs, and playing w/ Quanta+.
what should be the first file i open from the SVG? surely there must be 
one more than the others where i want to look?

i saw in his e-mail to me that Andras indicated the "3.5 branch" as a 
suggested starting point. looking at the SVG as copied to my home 
folder, i don't see a "3.5 branch" in any sense that i can figure. is it 
not a folder branch? is it just a file? or does he mean-- on the web doc 
itself? maybe you have a screen capture to help me "see it"?

i am not going to need micro-management once i get going, but i'm afraid 
i may be totally off track here all the way at the start. it seems so 
simple-- as i should just open a document and start doing .. /something/ 
... but as of yet, i'm at a loss for a starting point.

thanks so much for your patience, guidance, and continued help!!
