PHP

The best thing about Quanta+ IMHO is that it does not try to
force all that VPL stuff on its users. If you want to use
it just as a PHP editor: Works perfectly! The only thing I'm sometimes
envious of are Zend Studio's function parameter hints for
user-defined functions. You can include a file somewhere
with functions you wrote and when you are in the main file it
actually tells you what parameters there are. Great!
Even better would be a Delphi-like "right-click->go to definition".
I dont know any PHP editor that can do that, though.

KDE Web Dev future
by Anonymous on Tuesday 19/Apr/2005, @17:07

KDE Web Dev should be integrated with other KDE components to become even more powerful e.g. KDevelop + Quanta + Karbon + Krita + Kast

Not stable
by AC on Tuesday 19/Apr/2005, @21:42
|
Quanta seems really good at first but I never been able to use it seriously because it crashed every times I tryed to work with.
I fill bug reports when I can but the most I can do to help now is to suggest making the app stable before adding new features.
Am I the only one who think quanta isnt stable enough?

Kommander is Great
by Fast_Rizwaan on Tuesday 19/Apr/2005, @22:23
|
What I really like about kommander is that it allows non-programmers to create useful frontendsto programs (encoders, decoders, etc), like Kaustika, etc.
But I have not found a GOOD KOMMANDER TUTORIAL (for newbies). Without the knowledge of how to create frontends, Kommander is wasted.
As it is said, "You are not cured by just knowing the name of the medicine."
Good Luck to Kommander Developers and users :)

Quanta is useless for me
by Flavio on Wednesday 20/Apr/2005, @01:48

IMHO web developers need a generic XML editor that can:
1. validate documents using *any* DTD or XML Schema.
2. suggest and autocomplete tags.
3. create instances of documents from a schema
KDE currently lacks such an XML editor.
I don't like the "tag soup" approach of Quanta. It feels like a relic from the past.

Ruby on Rails
by David on Thursday 21/Apr/2005, @05:35

Quanta should concentrate on getting support for Ruby on Rails rather than PHP. Get together with Richard Dale and create a kick-ass framework and development platform from desk application development to the server and to the web. If you want to capture Java developers, do that, and integrate better with KDevelop for end-to-end development.

Interested in our funding status? Help!
by Eric Laffoon on Thursday 21/Apr/2005, @22:51

If anyone is interested... I really loathe having to do this. So far this year we've received 8 donations outside of sponsorships and we have one less large sponsor who was contributing $100 a month. While trying to advance my business and have resource capital I'm into my income for a sizable amount and that is before aKademy. At this rate I will need to come up with thousands of dollars by mid year or consider whether I can have two people sponsored. This year Andras had to do docs and Andras and I are doing the new web site. I see a few posts about how nice Quanta and Kommander are, but some tangible encouragement right now would be nice.
Free software isn't free to produce. I personally spend enough time for a part time to full time job on our project and have put in thousands of dollars of my own money. If a fraction of a percent of our users contributed what amounted to lunch money once or twice a week it would be a huge turn around for us. So far this year we have had to turn down two speaking engagements and an effort to get developers together to merge Quanta with the Kdevelop framework. While I hope to be able to cover thousands of dollars in additional costs for the project by later this year I don't see why I should be under this kind of stress. Our users have been very supportive in the past and I wish I didn't have to keep asking to get that support. The need is pretty much always there.
I can unequivicably say that our current situation is negatively impacting our efforts to bring you the best possible tool.
Users can help at http://kdewebdev.org/donate.php and I hope you consider a sponsorship as enough of these mean I may eventually be able to stop pleading for help. We really need the level of support we have had in the past, but this time I hope it's not the same people again, but some new people helping.
