Quotas (or at least affirmative action at a level that basically amounts to quotas) are imposed by the DNC, and apply to all states, though I think the individual states have leeway in terms of how they're implemented.  This has been the case since the 1970s:

So, has anyone found where we can learn about the quotas of OTHER state parties -- Democratic, Republican or otherwise?

Like I said, every state has similar quotas for DNC delegates.  The passage I quoted from that CNN article was talking about all states, not just Arkansas.  But the individual states have leeway in terms of how it's enforced.  AFAIK, the RNC has no similar quotas.

EDIT: Here's a WSJ story on one guy's ambition to be a DNC delegate from Washington state for example:
