Syntaxhighlighting and code-folding is already working through the

I've also worked on a plugin with D-projectmanagment for Qt-Creator , 
but I've halted the work, cause lack of time.
But I would be interrested, to share my work or help on an existing project.
Are you still working on this D-support in Qt-Creator?
