Thanks very much for your kind words Eric.

My work on Kafka was an effort that was essentially limited by time and experience. I had done some development on other applications for KDE, but my lack of knowledge of XML and DOM in Qt and KHTML made the learning curve steep. Although my knowledge has furthered since then, I am glad I did not litter the Quanta tree with my learning curve. ;) Luckily, the developers behind Quanta have got some solid experience in this area, and the likelyhood of adding a WYSIWYG component is far better given the qualified structure and backend of Quanta.

I am really impressed with Quanta and the direction it is taking. I think few people are fully aware of the struggle the Quanta project has faced over tha past years and Eric is one guy that I would truly love to meet and buy him a beer. There are some Open Source developers who *really* make a difference and Eric is one of them.

Quanta has gone from being a basic web editor to one that is making real waves on functionality. I for one use it every day for PHP / HTML / XML / XSL development, and I think the project really is going to be a killer app for Linux when the WYSIWYG component is added.

Wow! I'm blown away. You're welcome for the kind words Jono. I'm afraid I'm going to have trouble coming up with something as glowing as this. ;) You're on for that beer. For a guy I had a bit of a freindly rivalry with I'm pretty much speechless. I've always felt a bit like an outsider trying to fit in with all these really cool developers like Jono. What can I say... I'll take that beer. It's a ways from Oregon to GB but I hope to be able to manage the trip to Nove Hrady in August. I figure I can be the lost american who looks up to a bunch of guys half his age and tries not to look stupid. ;-)

Whenever I see you Jono you're on for the beer, and I will be looking forward to it at least as much as you. If you ever get an itch to do some coding on a good KDE app drop me a line. ;-)
