Mention Windows in README.
I think it may be nice to say that windows is unsupported in the README -- I'm trying to discover if it should work there -- even if I need to get cygwin, but so far it seems it's not, so, it may be nice to at least state that in the README so that windows users (such as myself) know that before downloading it...
Is Windows still unsupported, or has someone managed to make it work please?
Still no Windows support. I just added a note to the README drawing attention to this.
It looks like the daemons gem actually works on Windows. What's needed is a way on Windows to communicate between processes in a way that requires proper permissions. Meaning just that the process making the call is owned by the user, and can't be some unprivileged process. Or is this even relevant on Windows - I'm not really sure.
Any ideas? There was another thread about this, but it trailed off.

Just another ping for Windows support. Is there a better issue to track this?
@voltagex there is even a pull request https://github.com/trogdoro/xiki/pull/68

@trogdoro In windows, every process is (normally) launched with users privileges. So if user launches Xiki and Xiki launches git.exe, then Git will be running with users privileges.
