Travis Boucher has shown his interest in contribution, but he currently
has issues with D2 not working on FreeBSD. To quote him:
I have dmd working, and druntime (which was a quick hack to make work,
but should work well enough). The problems I am having at the moment
is with phobos, mostly because I don't fully understand how phobos
interacts with druntime (certain things seem to be duplicated between
druntime and phobos).
Once I figure out how all that works (which I'll want to do anyway for
ddmd), I should have a working port of D2 for FreeBSD.
You can join the project, too, developing is not hard at all. No special
knowledge is required since porting code is pretty much a
straightforward process. Everyone who is interested is welcome. Contact
me if you need help to get yourself started.
I have pretty much given up on D2 until it is finalized, and development
focus changes from specifications to library & compiler implementation
and enhancements. I think this will be the best time (for me) to get
involved in the process.
Unfortunately for me (and possibly others) I got into D at a really
shitty time. The language itself is in a state of flux (at least for
D2). So I am changing my own focus on application development with D1,
which I am sure will be around for quite a while before D2 gets
community acceptance.
