Wonderful! That was my topmost wish for KDE on Windows for a long time.
Thanks for making it happen!

Some questions:
- Does it cache sources (perhaps at least for "archive" downloads, might
  be difficult for version controlled sources)? I think one of the most
  common causes of build breakage (esp. breakage over time) has been
  upstream moving their downloads around, or even removing some
  downloads, entirely.
- What's the workflow / commit policy? Are the stable branches to be
  considered "frozen", or to what degree? Is it ok to update extragear
  applications to new versions, for instance? Is it ok to patch for
  compilation with a non-default compiler? Is it ok to patch for
  non-critical stuff?
- I suppose the current "stable" branch is "the branch that will
  become the _next_ version of the SDK (aka Qt5.6.2/KF5.33.0 or
  whatever). How does this relate to master, then? Or is "stable" just
  a placeholder label until the branch naming has been decided on?
- What - besides voting on the poll - can we do to help? Now, and in
  the long run?

Regards
Thomas
