Unfortunately, even simple contributions are not possible, as it's not possible to resolve build errors e.g. when adding new tests. See #5726 #5884 |

I have contributed code to repositories such as STL, Terminal, and WinUI Gallery, including bug fixes, code cleanup, and adding new features. In addition, I also read and modify them to validate my ideas or make some private improvements. None of this would be possible if I couldn't build them. |

I know that currently some components of WAS are not open source (such as DWriteCore), but allowing local builds of the open-source part and deploying them would be sufficient for me.
