Re: Quanta & KDE4? openSuSE dumping KDE3 for 11.2 Release. What Next?

Jens, I think you misunderstood David's point - he is talking about opensuse
11.2, which presumably won't include kdebase3-runtime, or any other part of
KDE3 for that matter.

Actually, if you compare the proposed timing of the 11.2 release with recent
postings by Eric on this list, Quanta 4 could be ready for release by the
same time.

Having said that, I am surprised and disappointed by the lack of support
Quanta gets from the larger FOSS community. I would think that the sort of
people that do web design would be just the sort of people that are likely
to experiment with GNU/Linux BSD and so forth.

However without a decent WYSIWYG *and* text development environment (with
all due respect to Bluefish, NVU et al, they are all lacking on at least one
side of that), then it is going to be very difficult to get those people to
forsake their beloved Dreamweaver!

Anyway, I'm sure I'm just preaching to the choir here. Thanks David for
reminding me, I promised a while ago to start lobbying for better support in
other forums.

Perhaps the way forward would be to set up a partition or virtual machine
with opensuse 11.2 beta (or other distros that are abandoning KDE3), try
installing quanta in that, and, as David suggests, start filing bug reports.

Cheers
Ian
