Hi KDE Windows people,

as you may have read on the community mailing list [1], I'm taking on the role 
of App Stores Support Engineer for KDE.

I saw that a few KDE apps are already published in the Windows Store. That's 
awesome! Let's do more!

Here are a few questions I'm interested in. They are more worded for the 
individual product teams, so they may sound a bit odd to you since you are 
primarily targeting Windows.

a) Where can I find more information about the building and publishing process 
for Windows? Who should I talk to in your team first?

b) Are there things you wish the KDE infrastructure would better support with 
regard to building for different platforms and publishing in different app 
stores?

c) Are there things in the KDE Frameworks that should be improved to ease 
building for different platforms, e.g. do you patch some KDE Frameworks when 
you create builds for Windows?

d) Do you want to target more platforms and/or app stores? If yes, which and 
in which order?

e) Are there tasks/issues on some task board or issue tracker that I should 
look at?

f) Is this mailing list the right place to talk about this?

Regards,
Ingo
