Join us for one week starting Saturday April 25th for the first
D Hackathon!
The D Hackathon is one week of intense participation and
collaboration on anything and everything related to the D
programming language.
All participants are encouraged to collaborate on the online
forums (http://forum.dlang.org/group/digitalmars.D), github
repos (https://github.com/D-Programming-Language), IRC (#d on
irc.freenode.net, use your favorite IRC client or
https://webchat.freenode.net).
Please prepend forum posts related to hackathon with
"[hackathon]". (There should be little else!)
Complete n00bs are encouraged to participate (tell your
friends!) and part of the purpose of the D Hackathon is to
lower the barrier to entry for would-be collaborators by means
of better documentation and tooling.
Let's focus on creating a better, more inviting out-of-the-box
experience for everyone, and above all a better D language.
We'll officially measure hackathon results by the number of
preexisting bugs fixed, but do feel free to work on anything
you think is important to you. There is no other rule than
getting good work done.
See you in one week!

Sounds exciting! as an aforementioned complete n00b, what can I
do to prepare for the hackathon other than staring at the source
code? I'm mostly interested in contributing for Phobos but I have
never used D for any big projects before.
