How would one go about volunteering?

Btw we have introduced a CODEOWNERS file at Phobos two weeks ago 
(druntime and dmd will come soon as well).
This means that if someone knows/cares about a module at Phobos, 
it's just a trivial PR away to get involved:

NB: For the CODEOWNERS feature one doesn't even need to be part 
of "Team Phobos".

Is there a written summary of the idea? Or is there a specific 
point in the video someone could point me to?


Basically using structs to describe layouts (among other 
relations) and in turn use that to drive DbI automated code. The 
DbI is the only "code" the rest is declarative using the type 
system.


Steven was using it to describe what columns ( name and type) a 
query should return from a DB and the using DbI to generate the 
Query.

What I like about this and the H1 of this year is that they are 
compact and realistic compared to the earlier ones. And it shows: 
most thigs aimed for were done this time.

Yes to both. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

So it's 2:00 am in Seoul. Having a bout of insomnia, I checked

series with a brief summary, as opposed to showing each post in 
its entirety (which is what happens when you click the GC 
category). In future, if you'd like to post a link somewhere to 
the GC series on the blog, please use this one:


http://dlang.org/blog/the-gc-series/

As an addendum, note that there's only one post in the "Tools 
and Strategies" section. I'm still looking for guest posts to 
flesh that out. If there's a library or idiom you use that you 
think others may find useful, for @nogc or otherwise, please 
consider writing a post about it.


Thanks!

Putting the entire set in D (C compiler, C++ compiler, C 
preprocessor, htod converter, optimizer, code generator) makes the 
whole thing much more tractable, and who knows what we will be able 
to do with it!

It did that a long time ago, but as a private repository.  I suspect it 
won't stay private forever though.
