I still want to document this, showing all the steps, and try to smoothen this experience for Windows users somehow... but it seems that using the Linux Subsystem for Windows 10 won't work for me. ;-(
So going with the option that Martin suggested me... trying to use Oracle Virtual Box and Ubuntu 17 now.. I will keep you guys posted!

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)?
