First introduced in 2010, NuGet has been around for a few years now and many people and organizations are starting to realize that NuGet presents a great opportunity to improve and automate different aspects of the development processes. Because the NuGet project is open source under a permissive Apache v2 license, other projects can leverage NuGet and companies can build support for it in their products. Whether for open source projects or enterprise application development, NuGet plus the ever-growing set of applications built on and around NuGet, provide a broad selection of tools for improving your software development process.
All of these projects are able to innovate for the same reason that has allowed NuGet to innovate - You. As such, please contribute to these projects just as you contribute to NuGet by reporting defects and new feature ideas, providing feedback, writing documentation, and contributing code where possible.
