Hi,

 It's been a long time since I posted here, as you probably all know I=20
don't really have time to work on Quanta. I still do free software (KDE)=20
work through KDAB, but as we don't have yet customers demanding a KDE=20
web development tool, Quanta is outside of our radar.
 I wanted to be able to write such a mail for a long time, and now when=20
I read the post about Krita fundraising=20
(http://dot.kde.org/2009/12/02/krita-team-seeking-sponsorship-take-
krita-next-level ), I decided that it is time to do it. I know, some=20
from our (ex-)team might not agree, that this is the way to go, but=20
well... ;)
 Things have changed in the past in my life, and from one who lived from=20
donations and the unselfish support of Eric, I'm in a situation now that=20
I can also offer some monetary support for KDE development, just as I=20
received it in the past. It wouldn't be much, more like around 100=20
euro/month or so. But if I'd find someone enthusiastic to work on Quanta,=20
I'd gladly give it to such a developer.
 Here is my call to users, who want to see Quanta moving forward: would=20
you join me in such an initiative?
 Here is my call to developers, whoever is still following the list:=20
would you be interested to do it?=20

 Let me make it clear, this is not for those who want money and do the=20
"job" for the money. This is for those who would like to work on Quanta=20
(or already do on some parts of it). It is a reward for the work. It is=20
a stimulus package. :)=20
 For example maybe you are a student and have to do some=20
afternoon/evening/weekend job to get some money. You could spend your=20
time on hacking instead now. Or something similar.

 It wouldn't be much as I said. But if it starts to work, I'm sure the=20
big community will support us from time to time. It did in the past, and=20
looking at the other projects (Krita, Amarok for example), it still=20
works.

Thanks for listening,
Andras
