Same here -

    I read the website, thought 'wow Windows is getting its act together',
then I tried to use it. The downloads complained of not being signed, I
ignored that, but still they refused to work - eventually I gave up, and
moved on to manual installation.

And indeed the same story - that makes it at least two, let's kill
that section.

    The LODE page for some reason recommends Visual Studio 2015 - three
times, though there is 2013 in the small print. I was to discover many hours
later that in fact LibreOffice x86 on the libreoffice-5-2 branch (at least)
doesn't compile in this configuration.

Can we collectively resource fixing that? I recall a problem, but
forgot the details. Tying us to a particular version seems problematic
to me. Beyond that - yeah, let's fix the onboarding wiki.

    I was broken by McAffe - it broke git - the simple clone failed with a
permissions problem. We have a not-very-explicit "turn off AV" messaging but
not in the LODE (or devcentral) pages, and we should do that earlier I
think; step #1 ;-)

That might need more nuancing perhaps, lest that we make it appear
~impossible for some people to build at all (policy & things).

Cheers,
