Pick one of the items you find the most interesting, and work on
it!
Walter,
But then if you do, my experience is that nobody is interested. OK,
perhaps I'm writing crap - I'm getting old and outdated, but you
don't even get told that except by Superdan.
If someone has done as you suggest, what is the mechanism for moving
it toward the D mainstream?
Where do you post it, who do you send it to, who is the judge, and
where is the verdict posted?
D should try to avoid being like Iran!
Here's one example Robert mentioned: getting D support into the GDB main
source. That doesn't require anything from me or anyone else. It
requires someone to doggedly push the changes to the people who control GDB.
It's not a big job - the GDB patches already exist.

But it's a high leverage issue, meaning it'll be a big win for D's
acceptance and credibility.
