Ary,

Lots of us are getting our hands dirty in the hopeful expectation of all the things described. I'm working on a web application server, and that includes database interfaces. I can't take on more. But when it comes to a mechanism for adding to Phobos, or even a mechanism to determine if anyone is actually interested, D is sadly lacking. The two library situation is just a joke. The comment about absence of management should be taken very seriously.

If nothing is done about it, D will die. It may already be too late - these discussions have been going on as long as I can remember!
