We (Amaury and I) did interview a couple of potential students a 
number of years back, possibly the only time GSOC accepted the 
Dlang submission.  Nothing came out of it, which was just as well 
really as all ideas I had were really vague. Besides, I didn't 
feel like there was much that could be done while D was still not 
integrated into GCC.

Haven't thought much about it since though.
