You are right that these informations are missing. Might be one of the 
reason why we are lacking developers. Would it help if I'd put them 
there now? I doubt, but I can try to do it. 

Looking back what we did wrong might not help. I have some ideas what 
went wrong, why we don't have a developer community (aside of the user 
one), but I don't think it would help if I'd write those ideas down.
 It doesn't really matter, as here we are with no active developer at 
this point. I really think the only good way to get new developers is 
that somebody gets interested in it and wants to do it. Be it because 
he/she needs Quanta, because he is looking for new challenges inside a 
community (KDE) or any other reason, the idea is that we can't force 
anyone to do it.
