It might be helpfull if they can help with:

* proper fast JSON parser (this is already worked on I think 
here: https://github.com/s-ludwig/std_data_json, but it seems to 
need a help with to finally get it to Phobos as we are constantly 
bit by it on public: https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks)

* same with the XML parser

* one probably crazy idea - WCF[1] interoperability for vibe.d 
(it might be helpfull in commercial field if one can use vibe.d 
as a backend server with WCF capability so .Net clients can call 
it directly with autogenerated protocol). But it will be a lot of 
work to implement all features..
