I've created a project on CodePlex to hold all of the MSBuild tasks/loggers and what not from my book and my MSDN article Inside MSBuild. The project home page is at Sedodream MSBuild CodePlex project. The idea is that I'll keep all of the MSBuild related material that I discuss here there as well. If you have content that you'd like to post there thats great too.

Are you aware of the MSBuild Community Tasks project?
http://msbuildtasks.tigris.org
It contains equivalents for GetDate, GetRegKey, Move, and NUnitTask, as well as many others.
I actually posted about the Tigris tasks previously at:
http://www.sedodream.com/PermaLink,guid,39b604b4-bb9c-495f-adec-f8594f573dc8.aspx
Also there is set of Microsoft SDC Tasks available at:

I'm not trying to "compete" with those projects, just wanted a place that I could put the material that I've made available, in one place.
