Thanks for the welcome
The reason I was considering a fork was I thought it may be moving away from
kmymoney's prime purpose which is personal finances. But as Cristian has
pointed out much of it can be done via plugins, so I am happy to "stay with
the program".
I haven't given up on MingW yet. but its very very slow going :( I am rather
rusty on C++ and some of the errors it throws up particularly around
templating have me pulling my hair out.
But having said that I am keen to get into it once I have a stable base to
start with.
I am about 2 hours into my latest build attempt with qt libs. I guess I
should have used the --noclean directive. I am used to make just picking up
where it left off but it appears emerge deletes the build folder and starts
from scratch.

Chris,
first of all welcome here on the list. I am not stuffed with MS-Windows
expertise and Cristian is our man for that job. So he and kde-windows guys
can give you more directions than I can.
Regarding the features you want to implement/improve I suggest to stay
with the project and don't fork off. As with other features, we can always
open a development branch for them, but it would be way more beneficial if
we could benefit from your work and also you from ours. As Cristian
already mentioned: some of the things you think of to be AU specific we
could use in other parts of the world as well, at least as a foundation.
Also we do have feature requests for some of them, so don't waste
resources by forking off.
Cheers
Thomas
