Hi Patricia .. good point about IDE's.

We have a dilemma here:

On one side ~80% of our users are Windows-based so it would certainly
be ideal to use an environment where we keep both our users and our
developers in sync. Unfortunately the majority of our developers are
not Windows based so ideally we should have an environment that people
on Mac and UNIX find acceptable.

I think there may be a circular problem here. Doing a Windows build currently requires a Windows system, knowledge of Cygwin, fluency in bash or similar shell commands, and a **lot** of stubbornness. That severely restricts the pool of Windows developers who could join AOO if they wanted to.
