Dear Sage developers, As you all know, there are some obstacles to using Sage on Windows. For a few years, this was much easier due to binaries built with Cygwin. Since this has been discontinued, we direct Windows users to the Linux installation procedures via WSL. Alternatively, we direct them to use our Docker images on Docker Hub.
For people with development experience, these installation instructions are fine. But if we want to appeal to people without such experience, we should offer more help. Recently, Julian Rüth developed an installation script that simplifies the installation process via WSL (see this comment <https://github.com/sagemath/sage/issues/33765#issuecomment-2359593580> on #33765 <https://github.com/sagemath/sage/issues/33765> and these release notes <https://github.com/flatsurf/sage-flatsurf/releases/tag/0.5.2> of the Flatsurf project). For the approach with our images on Docker Hub, I started implementing a Powershell script that guides the user through the process. You can find it in this repository <https://github.com/soehms/projects_docker_guide> along with documentation in the `README.md` file. Please consider it a draft illustrating a suggestion and feel free to help make it into something useful. Note that you can test the main part of the tool even if you don't have access to a system running Windows. At least if you are using Linux (I don't know about Mac), you can follow section 4 <https://github.com/soehms/projects_docker_guide#4.> of the documentation.
