People love to debate syntax. Semantics are much more interesting and
worth talking about.
Well, one issue that's happening is that every so often github pull
requests that are simple but important (such as documentation) sit there
without getting due review. The regular contributors are spending time
looking into them, with takes away time from more important issues they
could work on.
A dozen people are doing the simple work and the complicated work, while
the rest of the forum sits on the sidelines wringing hands about what to
do about the future of D.

You really want me to contribute? Cause I will.
And due to my lack of education on the matter I will get all up in your
way. You want the community to help participate? Get a list of simple
moderate and hard jobs that are relatively high priority, and update the
list weekly. A "stickied" post on the announce forum would work.
Cause if there's something simple I can do, I'll do it. I just don't
know what I can do.
