Hi Niko,
It's great to see you contributing. Presently with all I've had going on I 
have not been following Quanta4 development and building it. I will begin 
shortly. I'm really busy with work and Kommander at the moment. I wanted to 
mention some things though.

One focus I want to work on for Quanta4 is team web site development. In 
version 3x we added some functionality but didn't test it. Then we constantly 
were thrown against too short deadlines for desktop release schedules and 
freezes. As a result much of this functionality in Quanta is "half-there". 
You can work as a team, but sharing a project file only almost works. An RCS 
is definitely better for team development than just the upload system, but... 
Here are some ideas to contemplate for version 4...

* Project file shared information - configurable on upload?
* Upload command configurable to recognize if project configured to use CVS or 
SVN commit for upload? (probably bypass upload dialog and show revision 
contrl tool as building it into the dialog sounds painful)
* show Quanta Actions associated with upload in a separate tab? Essentially 
the thought is - how do we make the ability to incorporate scripts with 
upload more friendly
* in particular we need to have an Action or offer a script or something that 
makes it relatively easy for a user to make sure they don't lock out other 
users on new files. I know we can't do it all or be sure a given solution 
will work, but we need to have some "stock solutions" we offer.

Beyond that Andras and I need to use the new features so we can see what we 
like and don't like *before* we release this time. ;)
