Just to be clear, it is winbuilder, and not CRAN, that is the subject of 
concern.  In my understanding at least, these (winbuilder and CRAN) are 
quite different entities.

Also I have the vague (quite possibly erroneous) impression that the 
staff of winbuilder consists of a unique individual, namely Uwe Ligges.

It might be a Good Thing if someone located somewhere other than Europe, 
were to volunteer to assist Uwe.   OTOH Uwe might not want any 
assistance and/or might not trust the competence of such volunteers.

cheers,

Rolf
