Hi Guys,

Saw my name mentioned earlier but not sure whether Tim has solved the problem...

I'd be happy to set up a nightly (or weekly, let me know which would be better) 
scheduled task (see, it's Widnows, there is no Cron, although Schedules Tasks do 
have a much nicer UI ;-) ) that checked out he latest HEAD of Zope 3, compiled 
it and PUT it up to my Zope.org member area (I suspect the slowest part of this 
process will actually be uploading it to Zope.org - what's the plan to fix 
zope.org speed suckage? how about workflow suckage?)

Would it be helpful to get the nightly Windows tests running again? I stopped as 
a corollory of setting up my own company, but also because of lack of perceived 
support from people who could fix Windows problems and the lack of caring of 
developers who only developed for Linux and broke stuff on Windows... ahs any of 
that changed?

Anyway, look forward to hearing about it...

Chris
