Hi, I have had a couple emails with Gert and Scott about this off-list when I was putting the task together and they have had some convincing arguments about using NAntContrib. Those, and my finding of a bug in the update task :-), have convinced me that it might be a good idea to have it grow a little in NAntContrib before moving to the NAnt core.
That being said I think a more transparent process of identifying when a task is "ready" might be useful. Maybe something like the voting system could be used, along with a complete test coverage suite and a stable "interface"? I apologize in advance if I am wrong but I think that is what Gert is alluding to when he is talking about NAnt standards :-). I agree Gert on leaving this in NAntContrib for now and migrating it over when there is an agreement that it is ready.
