[Kstars-devel] Dire need for Windows version

[Jasem Mutlaq]

Hi Akarsh,

I saw the review too and was disappointed. And yes lacking Windows version
is definitely the fault here, and while there is technically a Windows
version of an older KStars installation now, it is quite cumbersome for the
average user to install. I really do hope we can get KStars on Windows and
also on OSX in the future. The short term goal for this is the GSoC 2016
Project.

Furthermore, I really think we should also have a lite version for
tablet/mobile, and hopefully a talented student can pickup this GSoC
project as well.

Raphael, please share all your progress and obstacles here on the mailing
list.

Regards,
Jasem
