Are CRAN staff located in Europe only? Is there a case to have a limited staff across multiple timezones with a rolling roster? Obviously if something is reported it’s best if it can be actioned immediately.
Just to be clear, it is winbuilder, and not CRAN, that is the subject of concern. In my understanding at least, these (winbuilder and CRAN) are quite different entities.
Also I have the vague (quite possibly erroneous) impression that the staff of winbuilder consists of a unique individual, namely Uwe Ligges.
It might be a Good Thing if someone located somewhere other than Europe, were to volunteer to assist Uwe. OTOH Uwe might not want any assistance and/or might not trust the competence of such volunteers.
