#2438: Windows Process Management
-------------------------+-------------------
Reporter: dustin | Owner:

Priority: major | Milestone: 0.8.+

-------------------------+-------------------
The [tag:windows windows] tag documents a number of bugs about starting
and killing processes on Windows. Buildbot uses Twisted's process-
handling code, so these bugs may be fixed by either re-implementing better
support directly in Buildbot, or by patching Twisted's process-handling
code.

== Scope ==
To do well with this project, you would need to bring a lot of the Windows
experience that is lacking in the Buildbot development community.
Assuming you're familiar with Windows APIs and accessing them from Python,
this bug would entail
* writing test cases to reproduce bugs users have seen
* interacting with the Twisted community to design solutions that can be
merged upstream
* implementing portable fixes to those bugs
* documenting them
