Not sure about Phobos here but D really does need to be able to connect
to QML. This proposal is therefore to create a way of communicating
between D codes and QML engines via signals and slots. The model here is
the Go/QML system. It works very well, but isn't D.

std.parallelism needs a review and some benchmarking, prior to making
improvements: some of the things David put into it are not as performant
as it would be nice for them to be. As part of this is would be good to
have a standard benchmarking framework, hence the idea of std.benchmark.
However there is no need for it to be in std (and hence Phobos) in the
first instance. So the project(s) would be to create a comparative
benchmarking framework that can then be used to analyse std.parallelism
on a more scientific basis than I and others have done to date.

Hopefully this is not too late and can be iterated to something that can
be posted. Is the idea to have a wiki for this, or mayhap a
Git/Mercurial/Bazaar/Fossil repository with pull requests?
