Great. I am not on Windows but macOS most of the time at the moment but 
will get back to Windows at some point. I'd love to install that 
version. Actually, even more a version of master.

It seems to me whether to anounce this or not on the users list depends 
on what you want testing of. If it's only to test whether LyX installs 
properly, then it's probably enough if some developers try it. But if 
you need more general testing (on Windows), then it seems a good idea to 
announce this on the users list as well and have a link on the website. 
As long as it is made clear that "Bi-weekly LyX" is an *unstable* 
testing and development version.
