But that would have been the proper address :) I'm forwarding this email there 
now, please register to the mailing list and direct further mails there.

If you have windows knowledge and want to get KDevelop up and running there 
this would be an awesome contribution! We are waiting for people to step up on 
that platform for years. Kevin Funk (also registered on this list) recently 
played with KDevelop on Windows. He should be able to give some input.

Furthermore, we are in the process of porting the codebase to KF5 (KDE 
Frameworks 5), which promises a much more modular foundation for us to build 
on. We are not there yet, but maybe it would make sense to put any windows 
effort there? The other developers who work on that should give you some input 
on this matter.

Cheers, and welcome :)
