Hey Malune,

I'm not an official representative or anything, heck, I've only just
de-lurked from reading this newsgroup recently, but I thought I'd offer up
a couple of suggestions. I don't know if you've done this yet but if you
want to help with the GNU front-end for D using GCC (called GDC), you
might want to start by building GDC on your system. The more people that
try this out and reports/deals with problems the better. You'll find
instructions on how to do this at http://home.earthlink.net/~dvdfrdmn/d/ .

If you want to help with evolution of the D language, you might want to
tune into the newsgroup where most of that action is happening,
digitalmars.D on this very same news server. I would bet that the best way
you can help is by writing code in D so that you can try to comment
constructively on design issues as people bring them up, and besides, the
more programs there are in D, the more visibility, and popularity, it will
get. :]

HTH,

Sounds good to me, i'll install GDC and start coding :).
