; General principles of the software * :

: In a few words, what is your software, and what does it stand for.

Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for (X)HTML, CSS, XML, PHP and any other XML based languages, or scripting languages. Includes tag completion and editing, script language

auto-completion, project management, live preview, PHP debugger, CVS

support, Subversion support (through external plugin) to name just a

few of the features.

; What are other software offering similar functionalities?

Bluefish, Anjuta, jEdit, IDE category on Freshmeat: http://freshmeat.net/browse/65/

; How does your software compare against these? :

Support of remote projects (through ftp, sftp, ssh, etc.), the PHP

debugger, scriptability, user actions, extensibility to support any XML

language, generic KPart plugin support is unique to the application.

Quanta leverages the KDE input/output mechanism (kioslaves) so that any transport native to KDE is available to Quanta. This includes FTP, SFTP, and SSH (FISH).

; Target audience :

: If your software is targeted at a particular audience, indicate that here.

Professional website developers and beginners as well. Can be used in

education to teach the how an XML language should be used and to teach

programming in PHP.

; What are the most needed contributions (code, documentation, artwork ...) :

: This will likely not factor into the judging of your project entry, but it will be helpful to publish this kind of information as part of the Trophées du libre contest.

The project welcomes all types of contributions from code to documentation and tutorials. There is a built-in mechanism for users to share extensions via the kdewebdev website. Financial supporters large and small are needed.

; Is your software related to other free software projects? (give details) :

: There could be another project whose code you use, or uses your code, or uses the same framework, etc.

The other applications from http://kdewebdev.org have tight links to

Quanta, altough can be used separately as well: Kommander,

KImageMapEditor, KXSLDbg, KLinkStatus, KFileReplace.

; Detailed description * :

: Give the most details in order that the jury can best appreciate your project.

Quanta Plus is a feature rich web development environment, aimed to

beginners and professionals as well, based on the KDE libraries. The

main features are:

<ul>

<li>'''project management''', including support for local and remote (through

the network) project. Project files can be uploaded to many servers

using various protocols. CVS support is integrated, Subversion support

is possible through external plugins. Advanced project features, like

actions assigned to various project events and assigning roles in a

team are also available.</li>

<li>'''HTML and XML support''': by default support for various (X)HTML versions

and some XML based languages are available. This support can be

extended either by the user (by importing an XML DTD) or via

the "hotstuff" interface, by downloading XML support packages. XML

support means autocompletion of tags and attributes, visual editing of

tags, document structure viewing, validation/problem reporting, context

help.</li>

<li>'''script language support''': by default '''PHP''' support is included, other

languages can be supported by creating a language description package.

PHP debugger interface is included for the Gubed and XDebug debuggers.

Autocompletion for built in and user functions/variables is possible.</li>

<li>'''CSS support''': visual CSS editor, autocompletion for CSS.</li>

<li>'''templates''': full site, one document or snippet templates are possible.

Templates can be shared via hotstuff.</li>

<li>'''user toolbars and actions''': toolbars can be freely created with stock

or actions created by the user on it. This toolbars can be assigned to

a language or to a project. The toolbars are also shareable via

hotstuff.</li>

<li>'''unlimited extensibility''': any type of scripts/executables can be assigned to

actions or project events. Users can exchange toolbars through the

hotstuff system.</li>

<li>'''plugins''': general KPart plugin support. Any KDE KPart can be used

inside Quanta, by default Konsole, KImageMapEditor, KLinkStatus,

Cervisia (CVS) and KFileReplace is configured.</li>

<li>'''integrated preview''': documents can be previewed inside the application

using the KHTML engine. Preprocessing the documents through a web

server before previewing is possible.</li>

<li>'''context help''': context help for many languages can be downloaded via

hotstuff. New help packages can be created by the user.</li>

<li>'''lots of settings''': the application is highly configurable, so everyone

can adapt to its needs.</li>

</ul>
