It is up to you. The idea is that the resources can be signed with a PGP 
key, so you can be sure who uploaded it. This is important for scripts 
and toolbars, where you can actually execute code. Some resources were 
not signed (the person who created either doesn't have a PGP key or 
didn't want to sign it). Quanta will warn you if it was not signed at 
all or the signature is not a trusted one (by you), and you can choose 
how to go on.
 Accepting everything without thinking is similar to downloading 
something from the web and running on your computer without verifying. 
Luckily its all open source so you have a chance to verify the exact 
content of the package by getting it from the resource page 
(http://quanta.kdewebdev.org/resources.php). Or you can trust us that 
we didn't put mailicious code to the server, but as much as we try to 
verify the codes, we cannot legally guarantee 100% security for code 
not created by us (and even what we created comes without warranty 
according to the GPL licence).
