Re: "Kuanta" ...are you kidding or what?

> Other than that, great work. I suspect Eric has put a lot of effort into making this happen. Quanta and KDevelop were indeed seeing a lot of duplication. Now that the later is mature and can actually be used as a foundation for Quanta, there is chances for better web focus.
Actually Quanta 0.9x was basically a stripped version of KDevelop with an HTML preview and little else. When Andras came on and KDevelop 2x had a new more modular architecture I asked his opinion on adopting the framework but it did not appear practical with our resources. During aKademy last year Jens brought this idea up and it had pretty much fallen into the dust bin as nobody else was thinking about it at the time. Now we have more resources and much of the duplication of effort is more obvious. I think Jens was a little surprised how easily I agreed and we set up a meeting with KDevelop developers. What was really exciting is how eager they were to work with us. That totally changed the complexion of things and turned it into a "why didn't we do this sooner?" question.
As to who deserves credit for the effort to making this happen, I would say that credit goes to Jens Herden who was so dedicated to the cause from the start and who has put so much time and effort into it. We're very fortunate to have Jens on our team and I'd like to personally and publicly thank him for his initiative, skill and caring hard work on our project. |
