    <p>Hi Andreas,</p>
    <p>Yes, I remember this. I also invested some time into AppVeyor
      back then and the timeouts.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Finding a reliable solution and exploring possibilities will be
      an investment in itself already. I think that with a good
      financial situation, it's also a good possibility for the project
      to invest into such an area with a potentially great benefit. But
      it's ultimately the PSC's decision if the project prefers to
      sponsor this work or hope for it to happen and outsource the work
      and risks.<br>
    </p>

      <p>Hi,</p>
      <p>The Windows CI thing would be worth-wile to invest it. But I
        think we already had it in the past and because of a lot of
        problems (e.g. timeouts when building, etc.) we stopped using
        it. I know that we definitely paid for such a service in the
        past. It was called "Appveyor" back then. Nyall might know more
        about it. I think he paid for it upfront and then I reimbursed
        him. That was in 2016.</p>
      <p>I think we would first have to find a reliable solution for
        Windows CI before investing into it.</p>
