Hi everyone,
I just wanted to stick a bug in everyone's ear. As we develop kdewebdev.org as 
a group we actually have, for the first time, an ideal test bench for 
developing one of the big features on our do list this year. In fact it 
should enter development soon. I'm talking about group project mode.

What I want to do is ask you to keep this in mind so that you may be able to 
input to us on useful features or implementations as well as testing it. Let 
me just give a brief outline of some of what Andras and I have discussed.

* project file split into local and remote files - this will 
facilitateenhanced upload management as well as other shared information
* various methods to manage repository - we're using CVS but we want to keep 
in mind WebDAV, Subversion and even non repository management schemes
* annotation - Amaya has done some work with this and we need to look at how 
to manage a solution here
* planning and managing tools
* innovative solutions like RSS
* integration with DCOP, Kmail and possibly even XML-RPC
* Legacy support - working with and supporting Dreamweaver's limited abilities 
in this area in concert with our more advanced solutions
* personalities - managing the growing complexities of development by assiging 
project roles and limiting what is downloaded, seen and editable by a given 
user as well as restructuring their interface based on project data

Over all we will be looking for ways to provide solutions for team development 
that make Quanta a clear choice for a project like ours, or for the 
enterprise. I believe that combined with the other things we are doing and 
the upcoming template object interface that will allow for much more rapid 
development that Quanta can and should position it's self as the first real 
Linux "killer" desktop application. I'm asking our team members to help us 
drive that innovation, and as it develops, to help us test and refine it.
