You said that the w32 port didnât get many additional devs. Iâm trying
to find reasons â and on the website I see obvious reasons that keep
people from contributing. And the more I look into it, the more I see
how broken the new-dev-wants-to-contribute usecase of the website is.
Someone contributing a complicated feature like w32 most surley would
have read the Emacs manual once or twice. Or at least looked over the
source code -- maybe starting with README file.
What keeps people from contributing complicated thing is that they are
complicated. Lets stop making a mountain of a molehill.
