Myself and other members of the NAnt community still help people out whenever possible. However, I agree that the responsiveness could indeed be better. > - nant developers are very busy and progress is slow We definitely have a lack of contributors. With this I'm not talking about people that post new tasks, but we need developers & designers for improving the NAnt core. > - the people above does not accept contributions (?) We definitely do (but again, our responsiness could be better). > - nant-contrib should be the way to go but not much > responsiveness there too The NAnt team decided quite a while ago that new tasks should first be added the NAntContrib project to allow these tasks to become more mature. > Correct me if I'm wrong, but nant "core" is okay, now it has > to only get > rich in tasks and become the ultimate make system you can do > everything > you can imagine with?
