What is this poll about?

Hello everyone. OpenSSL wishes to start delivering "reference" pre-compiled binaries and installers for Microsoft Windows. Traditionally, third parties have made these binary distributions and installers available. These binary distributions and installers were never vetted by OpenSSL and are often built by software vendors to meet their own needs or to cater to specific integrations. You can find a list of third- party builds here: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/wiki/Binaries

Why is this important?

Delivering reference pre-compiled binaries and installers to the community is important for the following reasons:

1. They provide a reliable, tested, and digitally signed implementation of the OpenSSL Library

2. Binaries and installers delivered by OpenSSL will provide end users and integrators with the confidence and veracity that they are fully functional, tested, defect-free, and free from malware

3. Binaries and installers are built to meet community needs rather than those of specific software vendors

4. The delivery of binaries and installers via direct download or package managers will give users of Microsoft Windows easy access to the OpenSSL Library which is not included in Microsoft Windows by default.
   

What are you asking people to do?

We would love for you to participate in our poll and tell us precisely what you want from our binary distributions and installers from a platform and feature perspective. The poll is straightforward. Simply rate the importance to you of each platform or feature that is to be included in OpenSSL's Binary Distributions and Installers for Microsoft Windows where 1 is unimportant and 5 is very mandatory. Feel free to provide any additional feedback regarding features you would like to see in the installers.
