Command-line purists might argue, but I think an NAnt GUI is a great idea; I've had several people ask if something like this exists as I've been evangelizing NAnt in the past few months.
One thought (possibly premature since I haven't actually seen Philip's contribution yet): If the community approves, I'd advocate bundling up the GUI and the command-line tool in the standard distribution (the way NUnit does) rather than making it a separate project.

It's a gui for NAnt, but unlike the nant gui for vs-studio, this is an alternative to the command line for NAnt build files. I call it NAnt Explorer and here are it's features (and not much more!) - add/remove a build file into a saved list of build files. These lists are serialized to a config file as new entries are loaded. - click on a build file and it's targets show in another list - click on a target, and if available, the target description from the build file is displayed - execute any target from the selected build file - display target results in a scrolling text box - optionally select the verbose option for the target My purpose in writing this was to encourage my developers who have nasty knee jerk reactions and facial ticks whenever they encounter a command line to use this wonderful NAnt tool, and it worked! Of course I am their boss so that may have been a factor. I use NAnt for software builds and deployments from developer machines to dev/qa/prod machines and having this tool on the server desktops makes access to the tasks a few clicks shorter.
