<br>
as we've seen in the Google Codeāin contest and students' feedback, MS windows is still an<br>
important operating system within the user base of the OSGeo stack.<br>
<br>
Beside the windows standalone installers of e.g. QGIS or winGRASS (both are based upon OSGeo4W),<br>
the OSGeo4W framework itself is a very important platform to deliver the OSGeo stack to the users<br>
of this operating system.<br>
<br>
As an example, when I'm helping winGRASS users on the GRASS user ML, I'm often refering to use OSGeo4W-winGRASS<br>
in order to check if the issue/problem is also there.<br>
<br>
Furthermore, OSGeo4W is also an important testing platform as it's possible to use/test the latest greatest dailys of<br>
e.g. QGIS3 or GRASS7.4svn on the windows operating system.<br>
<br>
Another example, University of Vienna deploys OSGeo4W to all its public students PCs.<br>
<br>
Searching [1] and screening the new website, there seems to be no information about/no link to OSGeo4W [2].<br>
<br>
Is this intentional? Just overseen?<br>
<br>
OSGeo will loose new and interested users of the OSGeo software stack when no one can find the nice framework for the still<br>
most used operating system.<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
