Yeah, I do all those things. And I do them for fun. Imo getting money for it 
would only impose some kind of necessity on me. I love the freedom I have 
right now, i.e. that I can spent some days hacking on Cantor without anybody 
telling me what to do.

I wanted to start hacking on Quanta some months ago, but I never get around to 
it. I blame the lack of _personal_ need for it. Back when I used Quanta 
extensively the killer-features where PHP autocompletion and documentation, 
all things that I have in KDevelop now.

Don't get me wrong: I do see a need for a UI that fits for webdevelopment *out-
of-the-box*. And greatly so. But I myself don't have such a huge need for it, 
esp. considering that I now my way around configuring KDevelop. I nowadays 
think I have my time better spent with hacking on some core-libs that help 
everybody.

So no, I don't think I'd be the right one to accept this money. Spent it on 
somebody new that wants to actively push Quanta.

Even if I maybe finally do find some time for hacking on Quanta: Let's first push 
PHP + PHP-Docs to extragear! Then improve the new Css plugin, create a MySQL 
and a JavaScript plugin. Finally interwine them all and provide the best 
editor components for webdevelopment _ever_ ;-)

Cya

PS: To any Quanta developer: You are of course also gladly welcome at the 
Kwrite/Kate/KDevelop meeting in feburary 2010 in Berlin. If you are interested 
and want to come as well, contact me, either by mail or IRC.
