I had some time to think about this a little more.

The one thing I keep coming back to is better support for R 
integration. I remember something about R integration for D, but 
it's hard to find the project. I had asked about it before, so I 
could probably find it again if I needed to. My recollection is 
that it only works on linux. Perhaps someone else can take it 
over and run with it? It seems like if you're trying to get more 
numerical computing people to use D, then being able to say you 
can run any R or Python (from pyd) function would be a big 
positive. Getting everything robust across major platforms, 
publicizing it, and making it easier for users would be an 
attractive project to me.

And if they have time they can do Matlab/Octave, while they're at 
it.
