I have pretty much given up on D2 until it is finalized, and development 
focus changes from specifications to library & compiler implementation 
and enhancements.  I think this will be the best time (for me) to get 
involved in the process.

Unfortunately for me (and possibly others) I got into D at a really 
shitty time.  The language itself is in a state of flux (at least for 
D2).  So I am changing my own focus on application development with D1, 
which I am sure will be around for quite a while before D2 gets 
community acceptance.
