Cool, that's great to hear. I'm not a Windows user, but from [1] I heard that 
apparently KDevelop can now be consumed via chocolatey? Have you tried that?

That would be very much welcome. I think the first step required here would be 
to get in touch with the kde-on-windows working group [2] and ask them how to 
proceed. Afaik a group of people are working on bringing installers into the 
Windows store. It would be great if you could try to do the same with 
KDevelop?

If there's anything to be done within KDevelop, don't hesitate to ask on our 
development mailing list. I for one would really appreciate if someone could 
work on our Windows support.

Thanks for the notification, I'll forward that to our sysadmins.
