Off the top of my head, work items for phobos I've repeatedly posted in
various forms:
1. eliminate all gratuitous use of gc
2. review all Phobos modules for compatibility with ranges - std.zip,
for example, was done before ranges and does not work with them
3. use -cov to improve code coverage of Phobos modules
4. make sure every function in Phobos has an example
5. make sure every function in Phobos has Params: and Returns: sections

6. replace std.xml with something we can be proud of
7. compile a list of popular modules in other languages and see what we
should have
8. create a greenthreads module that works like Goroutines
9. create a module that enables code to be run on GPUs
10. now that D can interface to C++ templates and exceptions, create the
interface code to the C++ STL
11. review all of Phobos for @safe compatibility
12. remove dependency on autodecode from Phobos
13. there was recently a thread on Phobos desperately needing a
BigDecimal module, someone helpfully posted links to a couple of free C
versions, I suggested that someone build a D wrapper for one or convert
one to D. Sadly, that was the end of the discussion :-(
14. I regularly ask people to write articles about D, and the situation
is slowly getting better, in that more and more good ones are getting
written
I've learned to not ask for a gui library :-)
There is no shortage of action items. Just hang out in the n.g. for a bit.
Now you're doing exactly as you're telling us not to do. Writing an
important post deep inside a thread, with a completely different
subject, that nobody will see. Put it on the front page of dlang.org or
somewhere visible.
