I've chosen to work on Mago, with the following goals:

-Porting it to D first and foremost to make code maintenance and 
expansion easier in the future.
-Add better support for Win32-COFF (there's a few more bugs 
compared to Win32-OMF in my experience) and Win64-COFF. As I read 
COFF32 needs some manual installation, which will be made easier 
by either a Powershell script, or even a custom installer, the 
latter might branch out on its own project.
-Fix some general bugs, like the non-working -break-insert -f.
-Add some simple GUI for Mago-mi instead of just the GDB 
compatible text interface.
-Make it to work better with LDC if possible.

If I'll have time after the main milestones, I might add other 
functions besides the bug fixes, such as a memory editor, ability 
to debug programs and codes written in C and other languages for 
interoperability.

Additionally you can help me to work on my college thesis. I 
still haven't chosen my subject matter, but it'll be either my 
graphics engine "PixelPerfectEngine", my compression library 
"lzbacon", or this if it's allowed. I need a mentor/consultant 
(the latter is what I got for the translation of the word 
"konzulens"), your main job is to help me out a bit.

I think one of the only people qualified to help you is Rainer
Schutze. I think he knows the details of Mago better than anyone.

Incidentally, I use Mago exclusively and I'm not sure I have any of
these problems you're speaking of.
Mixed D/C++ debugging is working well in VS. Memory editing is also
working fine...?
Top of my wish-list would be a way to evaluate pure
functions/properties while stepping as if variables.

Rainer is unable to participate in SAoC as a mentor this time 
around. So we're looking for anyone with the time and the 
willingness to step up.

I guess I could help you out with coff.

generating it is not the problem but linking it on windows 
currently requires the MS linker.
which may not be desired.
then again ... I think binutils do support coff as well.

I might need you as a mentor. Currently I'm thinking out of the 
milestones, I probably can fully convert Mago to D by the end of 
September, in October I'll work on getting the COFF64 support at 
the same level as 32 bit ones, November and December will be 
spent with developing a GUI and bug fixes.
