Are you using Enfold's code? If yes, how is it licensed?

If it's your own code, or the licensing is open, you're welcome to change
it!

If there seem to be restrictions on code you want to use, drop a note to
board-z4DKO/[email protected] and we'll work on it. If you're willing to work on the
installer, we can work on those issues!

I'm certainly willing to give it a shot. I'm not a regular Windows users,
but do have a couple of test machines.

If we get to the point of continuous-integration testing, I'm sure we can
find a way to deploy one or more Windows nodes for the testing cluster.

Use the form at https://launchpad.net/~plone/+contactuser to ask for team
membership. Hanno is the project owner; I'm not sure who else can add
members. Possibly Eric.

Make sure you're subscribed to this list (Plone-Installers), as this is
where we discuss installer release mechanics.
