[Kmymoney-devel] compiling kmymoney on windows

[Thomas Baumgart]

Chris,

first of all welcome here on the list. I am not stuffed with MS-Windows 
expertise and Cristian is our man for that job. So he and kde-windows guys 
can give you more directions than I can.

Regarding the features you want to implement/improve I suggest to stay 
with the project and don't fork off. As with other features, we can always 
open a development branch for them, but it would be way more beneficial 
if we could benefit from your work and also you from ours. As Cristian 
already mentioned: some of the things you think of to be AU specific we 
could use in other parts of the world as well, at least as a foundation. Also 
we do have feature requests for some of them, so don't waste resources 
by forking off.

Cheers

Thomas
