So, this might not be the highest priority thing for the FAQ, but it's always been my sense that "first impressions count" with software as well as people. In that regard, I've always found that this:
"NAnt is a free .NET build tool. In theory it is kind of like make without make's wrinkles. In practice it's a lot like Ant." is a little flip and not terribly informative, particularly to someone who has never used a build tool (i.e., the majority of all Microsoft tools developers). How about leading off with something like this: "NAnt is a free .NET build tool. A build tool helps automate the process of building complex software projects. NAnt is similar in concept to build tools like make and Ant." Is my version too condescending? I was going for something that says what a build tool actually is, rather than defining it in terms of other tools that developers may or may not know about.
