Re: Quanta.sf.net

Hi Eric. We all are really thankful for your great support for Quanta. But the website makes someone who never used the program wonder in what league Quanta is playing quality-wise. It is small stuff like the header (http://quanta.sourceforge.net/images/sechdr.png) and typos like the following on the screenshot-page (http://quanta.sourceforge.net/main2.php?snapfile=snap04):
* User Interface configuratin options

I think there are lots of Quanta users with artistic talent that would be glad to support the project with their skills - be it a pagelayout, some graphics or some css work. Just let the world know...

Daniel

feel free to offer your help making the new kdewebdev site better on
http://mail.kdewebdev.org/mailman/listinfo/kdewebdev-site ;-)

besides that, I can only recommend to try out the new quanta -
there are really lots of new, exciting features to be discovered !
(IMHO, quanta has now - if not already earlier - reached a level
of maturity that makes it just unique in its category,
even compared to commercial products - does DW have an integrated php debugger ? - not that I would know of...).

That's why I had an announcement on the dot that we are developing a new site. No matter how many time I say it people will miss it until it goes on line. The process for what my actual vision for doing a site right takes months, and even with others doing it it still takes even more of my precious time. People feel I should do something, probably because I haven't quite done enough. ;-) You can help.

I don't remember how long ago I did that. I guess it doesn't look spectacular and I could do better but it's still subjective. Everyone who has offered to help has offered to do the whole thing. Why is it so hard for people to grasp that I'm going to be stuck maintaining it or finding someone to maintain it?

> and typos like the following ...

Fixed, thanks. My fingers don't work so well at 3:30 AM. I got to bed at 5 AM.

> Just let the world know...

Oh if only you could be in my shoes for a release. ;-)
(wait, I'm not wearing shoes) I've "let the world" know repeatedly. I'm also very busy with kittyhooch.com. I don't want to work on quanta.sf.net but I put a header on the main page saying it's being replaced so that people will stop asking me to fix it. Working on two sites for quanta is pointless.

Let's talk about Quanta, the site is in work.
