Just to extend it a bit more:

Making the new platform available for Windows would be a project by
itself.  Although, it can be a major task which could require background
in both, the GNOME platform and Windows platform (if there is anything
to fix in the underlying libraries).

There are several of them that have been cross-compiled already, but
they have not been widely tested (or even tested, as far as I know),
neither they have installers created.

In short, it would be really appreciated if somebody could work on that.
But you would be mostly by your own, and because of that, this might not
be the best way to start contributing.
