Hi Victor,
Documenting using Virtual Box would be good. The inkscape-web wiki is on gitlab: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-web/wikis/
A bundle can be made and made available on the website. Although for that sort of bundling (if I understand this all right) you can make a windows based ansible container instead. But I don't know much about all that.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Hi Olof,
I am trying this option right now and it seems that it will work. So +1 for this! However, since this solution only applies for the version 10 of Windows... and we would like, I believe, to make this more uniform experience.. what would you say if we document a way, in Inkscape wiki, for windows users to download a certain version of Ubuntu (16 or 17, for now) and configure it on Oracle Virtual Box?
How is this seen by Inkscape project? Is it ok if I separate a lot of programs and put then in a Dropbox/MegaUpload account with the links to download? Sort of a Inkscape-Website-Windows-Bundle-SDK-ish? ;-)
Let me know your thoughts on this.

Victor you could also try the Linux subsystem for Windows 10:

Guess it depends on what is in those scripts if it will work.

Hi Martin,
I was able to clone the inkscape-web project to my machine. But the 3rd and 4th commands I believe are only targeted to Linux machines and not Windows.
./utils/init ./utils/run [<domain>:<port>]
Do you know how can I run those on Windows?
Possibly you may want to look at how to run a Linux virtual machine on Windows, and run the commands inside that.

Hi Bryce and Martin,
I read the wiki page on Gitlab. Is beautifully organized. Thanks for
that.
Where should I start? How do I check my initial access to the website? What are the help options available for newbies on the website (not for
the
application)?
