If you want to talk with people about hacking Android (non-Googlers
contributing is a somewhat rare occurrence, from what I understand) you
might have better luck on android-porting.
IIRC, Windows has been deprecated as a build platform for Android
platform, though. When it did work it was EXTREMELY slow (something like
36 hours to build the Android platform on the same hardware that took
less than a couple hours under Linux). So it would almost certainly be
better to have a VMWARE Linux instance doing your builds on a Windows
system than doing builds on Windows.
But my information may be wrong or outdated or both -- I'm not doing any
Android source builds at this point -- so you really would be better off
asking the guys who ARE doing the builds (on android-porting).

this is to contribute to the source at http://source.android.com/.
However, I'm on Windows, and it seems oriented to Mac and Linux users.
Any Windows contributors out there? Any tips on how to do this?
Thanks.
