Requiring a VM doesn't really make things simpler. Just imagine for a new contributor that is used to the usual Github flow: - Sign up Gerrit + sign CLA (I guess that one is accepted nowadays among developers) - Download and install VirtualBox or activate Hyper-V in Win8.1+. Might require a restart. - Download image, 300MB+ - Mount a directory from the VM so you can directly work on the git repository inside the VM. If I imagine I would want to fix a small bug that maybe has a workaround available I am not sure if I would go through the above. If I would plan to contribute more often then the above might be acceptable for Windows users, but for a one time contribution probably not. -- J. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Contributors" group.
