Yep, I was mostly thinking about Android with this question. There's really two aspects that it would simplify:
1. Our documentation would not have to worry about windows vs. unix 2. Our scripts (and upgrade scripts) won't have to be written twice. Although maybe if we are making node a requirement (due to CLI yes?) then writing them in node would save us writing them twice. Still, they would need to be tested & tweaks for windows I would assume. I'm totally fine keeping things as-is. Just thought the question had to be raised :) On Mon, Jan 21, 2013 at 12:54 AM, Kerri Shotts <[email protected]>wrote: > Yes, please!
