We have this issue open: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1179
which is about AppVeyor and running a windows build. It hasn't moved much recently and Apache Infra (i assume) has disabled the AppVeyor integration (which in my book is fine b/c most of the time it ended with a red "X" on pull requests). So, the question is, do we care about AppVeyor and supporting a Windows build? For me, i'd say "no" on both (in which case i'd just close this ticket). Some reasons: 1. I think that there aren't enough core developers working on Windows to warrant the added effort of trying to maintain a Windows build. 2. The complexity of the build will increase with each GLV and it will be hard enough trying to keep that sane without Windows. 3. Doc generation system is bound to shell environments Couldn't Windows users fall back to docker for their builds? Seems like it would be easier to maintain a docker/build.bat than it would to try to make everything else we have work on windows? thoughts?
