Let's try to keep things simple... A download task is clearly needed, and will simplify and help people install other tasks, libraries and addons. It needs to support a list of mirrors ( fall back, "preffered"), a number of different naming schemes and packaging formats, maybe one descriptor (or more ) and dependencies. Ant has strong requirements for the stability of the APIs and DTD - so we must be very carefull with what we expose, it'll hunt us a long time. It would be better to have it incomplete and add more as needed then bloat it and then try to refactor. PMC: can we grant more people access to the sandbox ? Or should we just use jakarta-commons-sandbox, which is already available to most people, and take it from there when it is ready ? The second solution requires the least effort, that's what I would preffer :-) Costin
