Hi Gert,
I always forget to "reply to all" for this list. Is that a setting that can
be changed? Every single other list I subscribe to works with just the
"reply".

Hmm, If you like. I have not problem with it. Remember, that my extension
are not compatible with the Source Forge hosted NAnt. There are tasks in my
assemblies that rely on signature and behavior changes that I have made in
CI Factory's branch of NAnt.

My advice would be to think about moving to version 0.9 or even 1.0. Get an
idea of what you think needs to change, if anything, in NAnt for it to be
competitive. If you think the ConditionalElement class is a better design
then switch to it. I would put the time into something to help people
switch to the new way as apposed to being backwards compatible. I don't put
much stock in backward compatibility.
