KStars on Windows
Project Name: KStars on Windows
A Brief Description: Even though KStars is one of the best planetarium software, until now it had a major drawback: it lacked a fully working Windows version. The actual Windows installing process of KStars was slightly troublesome, especially for a user with no programming background. Therefore, developing a Windows version of KStars was crucial in the further development of KStars as it is one of the main astronomy software out there. KStars on Windows project aimed to develop a single KStars installer, which is able to solve any required dependency and successfully install KStars on an Windows machine.
Status: Completed (yet there are some minor things that need to be fixed under Windows)
