I will if time allows me. I was just concerned to see this negative attitude towards Windows being made explicit as a project 'guideline'. Please remember that Apache is Open Source, rather than Free Software. The only thing which should be important to us is creating thriving communities that produce great code. The politics, we leave them aside.
Of course, if no-one finds Windows documentation important enough to contribute to it, there won't be many. Fair enough. But please don't try to make it part of the policy.
