A sort of lazy consensus?

Regarding Windows builds: We have nightly builds of trunk and weekly builds for AOO42X: https://www.openoffice.org/download/devbuilds.html And you can always find my personal Test Builds here: https://home.apache.org/~mseidel/AOO-builds/ If you are interested in building for Windows, I would be happy to help you with it. After all these years, I am still the only one that does release builds for Windows and is able to sign them. Just for redundancy it would be great to have a second person available.
