In my opinion, high on the list of things to do are :

- support for building locazized applications (for both the compiler tasks
and for the solution task)
- datatype documentation
- packaging (one distribution for all supported frameworks, or separate
distributions)

Note: I'm not saying these are all on MY to-do list :-)

I'm not sure if we should add external tools to the NAnt distribution.  I
think we should focus on the core build system itself and on supplying
"generally useful" tasks (which NUnit2Report is indeed).  We should,
however, include a list of third party extensions to NAnt.  That way more
users will discover these tools, and as public interest grows, more people
will be likely to join the authors in improving these tools.

I think most active committers are busy enough without adding even more to
their to-do list ...  thank god we're getting payed good money for all of
this :-) lol

I agree that it's a good idea, but it wouldn't be cross-platform ....
