Hi, 

i also followed the discussion for some time now. Quanta is surely not dead 
now and anybody would appreciate if further development would happen next 
year. 

I'm no KDE developer, but I think that maybe the switch to Quanta 4 should not 
be made by learning volunteers. But in this process, the sponsored 
developer(s) could build up a startup documentation for those people to 
motivate a new development community. 

Personally, for my needs quanta is great as it is now, but I also appreciate 
if the software I'm using does not APPEAR to be behind in development, f.i. 
compared to the status of KDE in general. And when I'm searching for a new 
piece of software, I don't consider programs that appear outdated. I wonder 
how often some of these would have been better than an actively developed 
project I preferred. :)

regards,
Guido
