Sorry if it is annoying to pursue this NAntcontrib thing here. I know this is the NAnt group. But the NAntcontrib mail list looks useless.
However, there is a relationship between the two even if it should be one way (NAntcontrib to NAnt). This relationship is made very clear in this thread of messages. In order to round off NAnt for "Corporate" use, certain functionality is needed but not seen as 'necessary' for NAnt core. SQL, VSS and have been mentioned in this thread and the response is "it's in NAntcontrib". So, the functionality of NAntcontrib is recognized for the "corporate" success of NAnt. However, it seems that NAntcontrib is not very assessable. (I may be wrong. Someone please prove me wrong!) I can't seem to download a ZIP file and just use it the way I can NAnt. While, if I have to, I suppose I can decide to make the leap to become CVS junkie and figure out exactly what I need to do to download, this seems unnecessary AND contrary to the accessibility objectives for the Corporate Target. I feel like I'm having to jump through hoops to use the thing. (And from the emails I see, I know it's not just me.) Maybe the objective of getting "Corporate" buyin is more of an atherial experience than a real objective. But if NAnt is to become a real tool with real buyin in the .Net development community then this bridge has to built. Either the necessary components from NAntcontrib should be brought into NAnt where it can be properly packaged or the NAntcontrib needs to be made more assesible.
