I would not see it so negatively.
There is definitely the interest in packaging winGRASS for OSGeo4W.
The technical issues need to be worked out, this will likely take more time
than the duration of this thread (only 5 days now).

To my knowledge (off list private communication) there are some folks
interested to participate in OSGeo4W. Only the entry "barrier" seems to
be too high from what I understood - at least there is some communication
issue. I feel that this could be rather easily resolved, at least I hope so.
Since we have limited resources, we should share code as much
as possible.
It is clear that we need winGRASS as standalone package (we are
already there), but it is also of high interest to integrate it into OSGeo4W
(we are not yet there).

@All involved: What about putting frustrations aside and start again?
