Re: Windows installer

Excellent! I noticed that you were first to upload a 4.3 installer. Welcome
to the Installers Team!

The final step in uploading an installer is to provide a link from the
https://plone.org/products/plone/releases/#.# page for the release. I've
added edit/add permissions for you there.

-  I'm going to drop a note in the communication team because I'd like to
change the landing page at the end of the install process (currently it's a
page publicizing Enfold's services) but I don't know what to say in that
page.
"""

Good. The promotion of Enfold in the installer was a special arrangement
made because Enfold was doing a community service by maintaining the
installer. I would prefer the landing page become something much more like
a README, completely free of promotional language or links. One of the big
problems folks had with the later Windows installers was that they didn't
offer "get started" documentation when they finished.

Thanks! Steve
