Hi Paul,

I'm a young .NET programmer with about a year of experience in C# and
6 months with SQL server. I have written a few applications, the
latest being http://ngenerator.sourceforge.net. While the code I write
usually works pretty well, I often wonder if I am doing things the
Right Way (TM), so I have joined this mailing list in hopes that I can
contribute to NAntContrib and maybe to NAnt itself, and that I can
pick up a few tips from vastly more experienced programmers like
yourselves.



sounds great. We are always happy to get more contributors.

I would also like to learn about how you go about doing things like
the nighly builds,

These are built on Gerts local machine using the nightly.xml build script in nant cvs. Gert will be able to tell you much more I'm sure.

how your website is maintained and kept up to date,
and where all the documentation and release notes come from - are they
auto-generated or revised by hand after each build?


The release notes and some top-level documentation pages are hand written. However most of the Task/Function etc documentation is generated from inline xml comments using NDoc and a custom documenter - see src\NDoc.Documenter.NAnt in the nant sources if you're curious about the details.

It's nice to meet you all, and please let me know if I can be helpful
in any way!



Sure - any gaps you see in the documentation or bugs that come up on the lists. From the looks of the ngenerator site it looks like you could teach us somthing about web design too :)

Ian
