This sounds like fun.., but may be difficult to achieve in the same timeframe as local
properties and roles.
you are right the time frame for these points could extend much beyond ant 1.7:
The xdocs stuff require time to get the method for processing the xml to html right, and even more to migrate the existing content to new formats.
Once it will be finished, it should improve a little bit the homogeneity of the doc, make it more easy to maintain (hopefully) by avoiding duplication between javadoc comments and manual,
and I hope also even nicer to read for the users. I am personally very interested by this project (because I think documentation is a very important pillar of all software projects).
Vfs is definitively something long term, I have no idea which sort of implementation will be feasible, I am just dreaming of being able to zip directly from a http site, or to copy from a ftp location to a cvs repository, ....
I am sure that these efforts will stretch beyond 1.7
I am sure that the local properties, the roles, the antlibized optional tasks, and a few popular bugs fixed can make a very good 1.7 agenda.
