• Stabilizing the Windows Build-System for the KDE-Windows installer

• Packaging for Windows and other platforms, we are the first KDE initiative to distribute KDE how can we create better packages with help from GNU/Linux KDE developers (maybe someone could prepare a CPack talk?)

• Improve Build Error reporting from Windows builds (related to stabilizing) for the KDE Community

• Get the word out that KDE-Windows is not just a proof of concept and here to stay (Marketing our ideas)

• MinGW32/w64/MSVC which one to focus on?

• How to integrate small, standalone packages for "honeypot" apps like okular or amarok into the KDE-Windows System

• UAC and KDE-Windows, related to get the word out to GNU/Linux developers that Windows NT should be a serious target for KDE

• Improving Emerge, design flaws and ways to overcome them

• identify the last problems in and around dbus (see e.g. http://randomguy3.wordpress.com/2010/06/01/d-bus-threading-issues/)
