There's been discussion of this on nantcontrib-dev this week since 
Nantcontrib is quite a long way from being compatible with the latest 
NAnt. There seemed to be a consensus that the more popular tasks could 
move to the NAnt project, be updated to be compatible in the process, 
and would be kept in sync as the Nant core changes. I think it would be 
great if on the nantcontrib list people mailed in to say which tasks 
they were using to help the project committees decide what they want to 
move over.

I also raised the suggestion that maybe Nantcontrib could be retired 
completely (with all its tasks moving to Nant), but Ian replied saying 
it was a good location for tasks that have low usage, which seems fair. 
It seemed a relevant point to bring up on this thread though since 
someone mentioned the idea of shipping Nantcontrib with Nant.
