# NAnt-addin: another coolness in the making?

By Roy Osherove September 22, 2003 In [.Net Quotations](https://osherove.com/blog/category/net-quotations), [Cool Tools](https://osherove.com/blog/category/cool-tools)

**Historical article** · Originally published September 22, 2003; technical details may be outdated.

[Jamie Cansdale](http://weblogs.asp.net/nunitaddin/), proud parent of the coolness that is [NUnit-Addin](http://www.mutantdesign.co.uk/nunit-addin/), is at it again. This time [he's making an add-in](http://weblogs.asp.net/nunitaddin/posts/28580.aspx) for the [NAnt](http://nant.sourceforge.net/) build framework. If you hurry, he's [looking for early alpha testers](http://weblogs.asp.net/nunitaddin/posts/28580.aspx) to help out with the efforts.

I wonder if I could/should join in.  I never got the chance to use [NAnt](http://nant.sourceforge.net/) up until now, so this might be a fun exercise, but I'm not sure I have enough hours in the day left already. I **do** wanna see my **wife** every once in a while...
