What is your contribution to D?

As Walter says forks are good. But please go work on your fork 
and make it great, rather than complaining here.

If OpenD is good, it will be good competition to D and help spur 
things. But on the other hand, it requires full time dedicated & 
knowledgeable people to maintain a language, so it remains to be 
seen whether anything comes out of the fork.
