Should there also be a section about the Sage-Windows port as a long

Doing this is in reach and probably there are some with a windows
background coming in from "stackoverflow".
Yes, this should probably be on the list, although I guess there is
some debate about whether or not this should be a formal "goal" for
sage. But I know a fair amount of work has been done on this, and
probably the Stack Overflow landing page should include pointers to
that work and related discussion. Would someone who knows these
pointers (and who thinks it's a worthwhile project) either add them to
the wiki page, or send them to me so I can do it?
thanks!

Is by "Sage-Windows port" meaning a "native" Windows application rather than
something based on Cygwin?
I don't think there can be any doubt a Cygwin port is a goal, but a 100%
complete native application would in my opinion take tens of man years. A
cut-down version, removing code that is hard to port (for example ATLAS) can
probably be done in less time. But it's hardly a very attractive tool in that case.
