Hello.

I think proposals go through google, though we need to find out more on 
that.

Regarding a diff task, there is a good java diff gui app built into jedit,
http://plugins.jedit.org/plugins/?JDiffPlugin
this could be the core of a simple text diff tool, though its license 
may be incompatible with Ant's own.
