Count me in! I really enjoyed last years edition and I'd definitely be up  
for doing it again this year. Although I would be willing to work with  
anybody that has a good idea, I think Mr. Bothe has an interesting idea  
for this years work. Compiling D to CIL would be a huge boon to Mono-D as  
it would make real-time CTFE evaluation a reality. Or at least get us on  
the right path. We'll have to hammer out what can actually be done in  
three months.
