Kudos to all 8 for trying! The project seem interesting.

I'd like to focus on the MLIR project since I have been looking 
MLIR for the
last month.

I belive this a project with big potential if MLIR succeeds.

Roberto congratulations!
I don't know how much experience you have with compilers or LDC. 
I'm sure
Nicholas will be there to help you but here are some suggestions.

There are a bunch of talks that I feel like focus more on the 
goals of MLIR
and not the practical side (the goals are important, don't get me 
wrong).

Aside from the general README etc., here's one tutorial I like 
[1]. I think it's a good introduction.
This talk [2] is mostly good too.

For LDC, there's of course the dlang forum LDC group, but also
don't forget the Gitter: http://gitter.im/ldc-developers/main.

This is the main discussion thread for LDC. Don't hesitate to ask 
questions there!
