Hi
There's not much tasks regarding Windows port. Kivio in the current
form (a kind of proof of concept) just compiles and runs there.
Much bigger task it Qt 4 port, or rather rewrite of many features and
reuse of some other that appeared in the shared libraries of KOffice.

The wishes are or course valid and very important.

PS: Just a note that many editing features of kivio is also beneficial
for Umbrello UML Modeller, so joining forces may be - at least in
ideal world - really good idea.
PS2: I recommend disussing on koffice-devel@kde.org, which is by no
means heavy loaded mailing list. For Windows topics, there is
kde-windows@kde.org. Communication through superficial bug reports is
a bit suboptimal (I guess this report is such, because Windows version
WORKSFORME).
