I've never unsubscribed since then, but must admit that much of the things you discuss are simply beyond my knowledge of .NET (close to zero ;-). To me you are talking about "böhmische Dörfer" as we'd say in Germany (bohemian villages?). It seems as if our main customer (talking about real life now) insists on switching to .NET as their strategic platform of choice as Tomcat isn't as nicely integrated into IIS as they'd like it. So I have some personal drive to take a closer look at NAnt. One side effect is that I've helped Steve (very little, mainly via testing) to get Ant's <csc> into shape for Mono. There is no way I'd also leave my Unix environment for development. IIS in VMWare for testing may be OK, but other than that ... 8-) The result is that Ant 1.6's <csc> seems to work reasonably well with Mono 0.28 on Linux as well as Mac OS X. I'll probably stick to Ant instead of NAnt myself as there'll always be a Java VM on my system anyway - and I love to contribute to Ant (and have some dogmatic problems with NAnt's license, you know - probably my fault, not yours). Should I change the subject from "NAnt and Ant" to "NAnt and Stefan"? OK, NAnt and Ant. From what I understand they started out very close to each other and have developed independently - and come to similar results in some places nonetheless. Ant 1.6 allows all tasks to live as children of <project> for example. I'd love to share ideas between the projects, I'd love to use the same concepts and I'm sure other Ant developers feel the same. There are obviously some areas where we have different opinions, the "Ant should not be used as a scripting language" dogma for example. If you want to take my mail as a fresh start to revive cross-community discussions, that's great. I'm not sure which forum would be the best one for this type of discussion, though.
