Quanta is a separate application built on kdevplatform, just as
kdevelop. The only
difference is the splashscreen and the default set of plugins.

You checkout from svn trunk and build like described here:
http://www.kdevelop.org/mediawiki/index.php/KDevelop_4/compiling
I'd suggest you build and use kdevelop, as quanta is currently not
really tested.
Additionally you want to compile some web plugins (php, xdebug).

> So, what's the strategy, and how does a beginner get started?
Either you pick a plugin (for example html langauge support), or you hack
kdevplatform directly - depending on what you want to implement.
Best would be to pick a topic and ask either here or on irc #kdevelop
for more information.
