KDEEdu/Sprint2012/WindowsNotes

KDE EDU on Windows

Need refined format

*  What projects should be ported? 
 - All

* What's the current stage?
 - Everything compiles
 - Everything that Lazlo knows seems to works
 - Last exe's in windows.kde.org are 4.8.0 based and not all of them work

* KDE-EDU Windows installer?
 - Plan to improve the installer the kde windows team provides
 - We need a "3 next" click installer
  - Otherwise there's no motivation because it's difficult for people to get
    since the KDE windows instaler is only "geek" friendly
   - Lazlo supports a workaround that is using cpack
  - Copy Amarok solution?
   - Some people think it's a good idea
   - Lazlo says it's a hack on a hack

* How to attract contributors to fix runtime or build issues on Windows? 
 - Continuous integration?
  - Not yet integrated in jenkins
   - There's a windows specific one in a company in germany (didn't get the name)

* How to attract contributors to fix runtime or build issues on Windows?
 - Motivation is missing if there's no users, which gets fixed by the great windows installer

* Cross compilation on Linux if no license available? Document how to do it?
 - Cross compilation is not really needed, compiling is the "easy part"

* Do applications work?
 - Lazlo thinks we need to test our applications all before starting to push them
 - Aleix thinks we can assume things work
 - Albert suggests we do testing live here

* Can we distribute on their market?
 - Windows 8 has a store, it's only for Metro applications
 - Seems it's a political decission to only allow a few libs for the market

* What will happen with Metro(Windows 8)+KDE?
 - No OpenGl for Windows 8 (ANGLE)
 - Metro applications seem to be too restrictive (can't link other libs than the blessed ones)
 - Digia are interested in getting it to work on the store
 - Seems it's a political decission to only allow a few libs for the market
