Hi,

> Kdenlive port to Windows has been validated by KDE (thanks for sharing the

> So please welcome him in our group, and be sure we will inform you for every

Thanks for this good news.

I have been using kdenlive to edit videos for several years, especially for 
the non profit french organisation April <http://www.april.org/> and for 
Wikimedia Commons, like this one :

I work on a Kunbuntu distribution but people regularly ask me about editing 
videos on Windows with free software and the only software I can recommand 
right now is Blender. But Blender is not specialised in video editing. So 
having Kdenlive working on Windows would be a great step to help people to 
leave the dark side of the force and get rid of Windows.

Best regards.
