I should acropolises, Gregor. I completely forgot about this.  Its a 
good start for number 2).

I still think that it needs to be so easy to use that people don't need 
to think.  For instance being able to simply provide a visual studio 
project (and other popular IDEs) and have it convert it over to a D 
capable visual studio project, would help a lot.  The final step would 
be either providing it on DMD or some sort of serious promotion on the D 
website.

It sounds lazy but generally what gets people hooked.

Also, I'm kinda confused why this project never gained much of a 
attention even in its current state?
