Yes, come join https://github.com/DlangScience. Ilya and I have a 
plan of sorts, but it needs formally writing down. For now we 
have been using a private Gitter room for discussion, which has 
been OK for now but likely won't scale.

Anyone serious about getting involved, drop a message here: 
https://gitter.im/DlangScience/public and we can start to build a 
picture of what expertise we have and what we're missing.

A proper public forum could be great, but I don't personally have 
time to set up something like that at the moment.
