hello Andras, hello Eric, hello listmates, 
as some of you might know, I've been a longtime quanta supporter (mainly in 
terms of sponsoring) and I'm still using it as my favorite web/php dev tool.
unfortunately, the development model with sponsored work mainly from Andras, 
did not work out in the long run, as obviously community support/sponsoring 
was too small/inconsistent for even generating a small regular income for 
Andras to make a living from.
That is sad, but a fact.
given this, I very much appreciate your effort to resurrect quanta 
development, and even come up as a sponsor for that (which IMO really shows 
with how much personal engagement you did that 'job' !).
however, I doubt the same model will turn out to a success, once more.
but, if e.g. someone could be found to work on quanta4 for a limited time 
until it is usable as a native kde4 application, and needs some sponsoring to 
be able to do so, I will surely step up to contribute.
count on me.
