> I'm +1 on the idea to have "official binaries" What is your feeling on having "unofficial binaries" listed until the full ability to get official binaries? I think there maybe some urgency to get a download page. Once that is going, that will provide some time to work on proper binaries. As Jan put it:

Or any > system that use rakes, ruby, python .... For the "unofficial binaries" I don't think we should limit how they are built. Build-couchdb does not build windows yet. I am sure we will have to pull from Dave's work for the windows build. All the end user cares about is that it runs. They don't care how it was built. That being said, I would propose that to submit a "unofficial binary", a documented build process should be provided. An end user may not care about how it was built, but the couch community will.
