Re: PSPP is not a "linux first" community

[Alan Mead]

My experience has been that the PSPP team is welcoming, so I don't think
"cathedral model" is fair. But I also don't think you need to be
apologetic about being a Windows user or a user. PSPP needs users and
Windows users to test and report bugs.
