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.

I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe...
functions on fire in a copy of Orion.
I watched C-Sharp glitter in the dark near a programmable gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like Ruby... on... Rails... Time for Pi.
