Portable development environment
In order to develop Huggle on Windows, you need to download massive amount of 3rd party libraries as well as Visual Studio community edition 2015. Therefore having a VirtualBox with Linux that has everything, including IDE preinstalled and preconfigured, so that student can just download it, and run in VirtualBox and start working on Huggle straight away, is probably easier option for them.
A portable VirtualBox image of Ubuntu, that is completely prepared for Huggle development, has been created. New developers who struggle to set up their development environment will be able to compile Huggle and to start contributing (which really is hard when you can't compile it).
Because both MacOS and Windows are proprietary it's been decided to use Linux. This image contain preinstalled Ubuntu, stripped of unneeded stuff, which has all that you need in order to develop Huggle. The target image is ~3GB of size.
The VirtualBox image can be downloaded from http://download.wmflabs.org/huggle.ova.
