[nant-dev] NAntContrib

[brant <bra...@ho...>]

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 audience then
they could cherry pick from the NAntContrib and include it in a future
release.

I don't see the need to include ALL tasks into NAnt (but I do think that
most of the tasks submitted are generally usefull), and that tasks not
included should stay in NAntContrib.
