Thanks Johan, I'm going to dig into those threads after some vacation time I have and then decide what the first start is.
At this point, I think I will split the two efforts: helping with the windows platform builds (where I can provide value faster .. hopefully) and then the Synology packaging effort (where I'm just starting). Last quick question, and forgive me since I don't know anything about open source development processes, would it be helpful to create and maintain a Visual Studio project, or do you just want the setup instructions on how to make that VS project?
