Great.

Thank you indeed. Our (specially my) English is far from good, so it's a
big help...

Our Windows documentation (INSTALL & DEV-GUIDE) is very outdated because
it's a environment we don't use. So help there, very welcome also. Also
testing and patching in that environment (or simply to send feedback of
how kune looks like there can be useful).

Maybe you can joing 3D with GWT in the short term:

Some general comments:

We have some general info about our teams (kune it's one of them):
http://ourproject.org/moin/Contributors

We like/love what we do, so, let's try to find which part of kune it's
more interesting/necessary for you and try to make your participation
enjoyable.

Another point: The start is always the most complicated, so don't dude
to write us when you find some trouble.

Bests, and welcome,
