+1 for setting a date (e.g. 1 month from now) for 1.0 final. I agree with Martin somewhat in that making msbuild support easier is a big deal, however I think running msbuild.exe is a perfectly decent way of doing so for 95% of people - we just need to tidy that up a bit. At the moment I just invoke msbuild.exe from an <exec> and use the Xml Log Publisher that comes with CCNet - maybe that could in fact be rolled into NAnt.
