Hi Ian, I'm not so sure. I see NAnt.optional as a place for new tasks that may or may not be useful. I guess this is what I don't like. Useful? Uhh... If someone wrote the damn thing, I'm sure *they* considered it useful. Who are we to decide what is useful and what not? But, if you guys

Tomas, Maybe my phrasing was a bit off. Obviously they are useful for someone. I have no problem calling it Nant.Experimental. Optional just came from the equivalent in Ant. Ian Hi Ian, I'm not so sure. I see NAnt.optional as a place for new tasks that may or may not be useful. I guess

I am a bit confused. Is NAntContrib going away? From my understanding it was meant to be a standard place where people could share any tasks that they had written, regardless of weather they were deemed usefull by the NAnt team. If the NAnt team thought a task was usefull enough to a large

The other problem we will have, that we haven't really addressed, is in describing the dependencies of some of the tasks. Take the MSI tasks as an example. There is a lot of stuff that needs to be installed to actually use it. It might be best to introduce the idea of a dependencies/requirements

ok - lets get nantcontrib building as it is for this release. That list of tasks I posted earlier - assigned to namespaces should be moved into NAnt and the remainder can stay in NAntContrib - how does that sound ? Ian Brant, I actually share your opinion on this one, but this isn't something
