Woo!! I can't speak for the unix stuff (other than I'll be delighted to help test it) but yup I am up for the windows world. Just point me at it. And give me a day to re-read the WiX book.. Having an MSI as the default package makes sense to me, and I will prepare a nuget package this time around, it seems to be gaining ground: http://chocolatey.org/, should be straightforward. Personally I would prefer to roll 1.3.0 soon (timebound) and then give a period for the new approaches to settle down before they go into git master. Shipping MSI binaries based off 1.3.0 vs shipping a binary made directly from 1.3.0 is largely semantics for end users. If its not a big change and I've done my docs stuff (mea culpa) then let's do it. A+ Dave
