The more we have more capable hands in the Dip decisions making 
the more the dlang will make progress.


As a very long member of the community and one with a thorough 
understanding of the language it will be better to be among the 
DIP decision. A committee of 5 persons will be better than 2.

If there have been 5 persons or more making decision about the 
DIp and standard library the pressure on andrei would not have 
been much to the point of letting go of some duties.

More hands pls
