Re: [nant-dev] Property Scoping

[Ian MacLean]

I would suggest post 1.0 for that as well. However that shouldn't 
prevent you working on it on a seperate branch. I don't want to 
discourage new and interesting features but just wanted to point out 
that we need to beware of feature creep and getting a solid release out 
should take priority for the project. I'm aware that everyones time is 
limited and we all want to work on what is interesting for us so by all 
means continue to flesh out your ideas on this. Just be aware that its 
unlikely to make it into the official codebase before 1.0.

To be honest I'd like to see us release a 1.0 with the current feature
set before implementing somthing like typed properties.
it would be kinda nice to unify properties and type references which are
both essentially different types of variables. However I do feel that
this is peripheral to what the majority of users want to do with nant. 
ie its quite a big change which doesn't actually make that much of a
user-visible difference in many cases. Not that its not worth
investigating just that it might be sensible to set this out past a 1.0
release.

Yeah, I was considering the same thing. I also wondered whether this 
could mean that there could be a unified type system. Filesets, string
     

 

properties etc.
  

     

You mean storing a fileset inside a property? Interesting idea.

Gert, Ian, Scott - what do you think about typed properties?
