There are two things that need to be done. The first, we need the reactive framework to be ported to powershell - that way we can have charms written in powershell and compiled as such. I know the cloud base folks poked at that a bit in Gent during the Summit but I haven't heard much from there.
The second, is two base layers. The first is a powershell base layer so you get the awesome powerhshell helpers cloudbase has created (like the python charm helpers). That way native power shell layers can be written. The second is to create a python-windows base layer, this would be the basic layer and then the necessary methods to install Python on the windows machine so that python layers work properly. Some of this we can pilot ourselves, (mostly the python-windows layer) - some of the team is sprinting so I'll add that as a stretch goal. The powershell native features we'll need help and I admit I've done a terrible job keeping up with the cloudbase folks who have been invaluable as a windows + juju resource thus far.
