-#### KDE applications on Windows?
-
-One of the new [goals of KDE](https://dot.kde.org/2019/09/07/kde-decides-three-new-challenges-wayland-consistency-and-apps) is to spread the use of the applications created by the KDE community.
-This doesn't only include the use of them on Linux & other Unix-like operating systems, but Windows, too.
-
-#### The Successes :)
-
-The KDE community has some successfully cross-platform applications out there, like [Krita](https://krita.org/) and [GCompris](https://gcompris.net/).
-The teams behind these applications did some great job to both develop & market them for all operating systems, including Windows.
-
-#### The Remaining Stuff :(
-
-Wheres many KDE application can already be built on Windows since years, they have not found a wide spread use there.
-
-For example [Kate](https://kate-editor.org), the text editor I maintain, is there mostly unknown.
-Actually most of the applications we ship with the [KDE Applications releases](https://kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-19.08.1.php) are not widely known on Windows (nor used).
-
-#### The Plan!
-
-Already last year we came up with [the task](https://phabricator.kde.org/T9575) to bring more of our applications to the official [Microsoft Store](https://store.microsoft.com) to increase their visibility for the average Windows user.
-
-#### The Building Blocks
-
-Hannah von Reth & Kevin Funk provided the means to achieve this:
-
-* [Craft](https://community.kde.org/Craft) - a meta build system / package manager that can be used on Windows for our stuff
-* [KDE Binary Factory](https://binary-factory.kde.org/) - a CI that actually even creates fully signed installers and packages for the store!
-
-Without their work, nothing would have happened for the "we publish stuff in the store" task.
-
-More details about that can be found in the wiki and older blog posts:
-
-* [Using Craft on Windows](https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Windows)
-* [Tips for streamlining KDE applications for deployment on Microsoft Windows](http://kfunk.org/2017/12/20/tips-streamlining-kde-application-for-deployment-microsoft-windows/)
-* [CI for Windows installer and macOS bundle generation: KDE Binary Factory](http://kfunk.org/2017/11/17/kde-binary-factory/)
-
-#### Our Progress :=)
-
-Based on that work, some applications got now published with the [KDE e.V.](https://ev.kde.org/) account to the Microsoft Store.
-The first was [KStars](https://kde.org/applications/education/org.kde.kstars) and after a long gap [Kate](https://kate-editor.org) & [Okular](https://okular.kde.org) followed.
-
-Direct links to the store entries can be found below (the screenshots are in German, made in a Win10 VM, yes, i18n works on Windows just fine):

-#### Help Wanted!
-
-At the moment, this is the effort of only a few people and it will only be sustainable if we gain more support.
-
-Therefore, if you are interested in bringing more of our applications to Windows and helping to maintain them, join in at [this Phabricator task](https://phabricator.kde.org/T9575).
-
-The tooling might still be a bit rough to use in some places and the documentation is not perfect, but this can be improved!
-
-#### Why all that?
-
-I think there is a large user base on Windows that might benefit from our applications and we will benefit from potential more contributors, too.
-
-Some might say: "Why shall we provide our applications on a proprietary operating system? People shall use fully open systems!"
-
-I say: "Why shall we ignore all the people that are stuck with a proprietary operating system out of whatever reason?"
-
-#### P.S.
-
-And no, the idea is not to publish the stuff exclusively in the Microsoft Store.
-
-The [KDE Binary Factory](https://binary-factory.kde.org/) outputs normal installers and portable archives, too.
-
-The Microsoft Store is just a good way to advertise our applications to a broader scope of potential users.
-The KDE e.V. published applications are there available for free but you can use any other means to install them.
-
-Feel free to join the discussion at the [KDE reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/d7g44o/kde_applications_on_windows_whats_the_current/).
