If you're familiar with Windows MinGW development and would like to help this project, please write up detailed instructions which cover the installation of this project's Windows prerequisites as well as compiling the sparkle QML example and submit said instructions to the project's maintainer. Several people have spent hours trying to set up MinGW/Qt/Glib when using the existing Windows setup instructions as found on the project page. The issues with Windows installation have been recorded in the project's newsgroup:

Also, a tutorial which walks through QML's native controls would help speed adoption. Below is a great tutorial on Tk which could serve as a template for someone with the time and energy to evangelize go-qml:

I would've backed Ubuntu Edge if I knew this existed back then. Being able to use Go for mobile dev would be so fun.

I'm not sure if this qualifies, but you can develop Go programs for yourself on Android by targeting arm (CGO_ENABLED=0 GOARCH=arm) and running the binary in "Terminal IDE" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spartacusr...).

Of course, I've only done this with pure Go command line applications. Although I can't seem to get anything that requires DNS to work yet.

Plus there's goandroid (https://github.com/eliasnaur/goandroid) which some people like.

Can you make Android apps with this and distribute them, or is it just dicking around with a phone?

Been wanting something like this. Thx!!
