Erv, this is a good summary, at least from what I remember of the reasons and the goals of NAntContrib.
I think there is a place for nantcontrib, and as nant stabilizes for 1.0, that place will be even more apparent. I hope that most of the core of nant, and the core tasks, will not change much for a long while after the 1.0 release. NAntContrib on the other hand should flourish a lot and see many changes, additions and more developers while nant stays at a 1.0 release (and during maintenance releases). Maybe it would be good if we summarized the goals and separation of the projects as we move towards defining the 1.0 release plan. The nant wiki (http://nant.sf.net/wiki ) seems like a good place to keep this information for reference and as a source for pointers of the projects progress. #. http://nant.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/NAntContrib ----- Original Message ----- From: "Erv Walter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "David Reed" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Erv Walter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Foley, Cash" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 2:00 PM Subject: RE: Obsolescing NAntContrib [was RE: [nant-dev] Re: [Nant-users] 0.8.3 final] > This has been debated many times.
