I think the current answer is: we don't work on win32 port, possibly=20
will not work in the near future, but do not oppose if somebody wants=20
to do it, if the port itself doesn't cause problems on other platforms.=20
Right now it (should be) possible to run Quanta on win32 with the help=20
of the cygwin KDE port (kde-cygwin.sf.net, IIRC).
 The fact is that we don't use Windows, and I certainly don't want to=20
develop under Windows, unless I'm forced to. ;-)

The latest stable Quanta (3.3.2) requires kdelibs 3.2 or 3.3. The next=20
version (3.4) will require kdelibs 3.3 or kdelibs 3.4. The latter is=20
recommended.

VPL uses a special mode, called "caret mode" of the KHTML browser part=20
from kdelibs. This means that it's tied to KHTML and it can basicly=20
work only with DTDs supported by KHTML. Maybe Pualo, who works on the=20
VPL these times, can give you more details.

There are not so many developer docs. In the sources you can find:
kdewebdev/quanta/DESIGN: short description of the Quanta classes
kdewebdev/quanta/HACKING: some rules for code=20
contributorskdewebdev/quanta/parts/kafkaDESIGN: short description of=20
the VPL design. I  don't know how accurate, detailed and up-to-date is.
