Reply to Spacen,
Since D1 is stable I wonder why bugs in Phobos1 and/or D can't be
ironed out quicker by allowing certain members of the D community to
commit changes to phobos directly.
This goes for the compiler too, but presumably a lot of the the code
is shared and it isn't so easy.
I presume that all the bug fixes for phobos are incorporated by
Walter, and wonder if this need by the case. Would it not be useful to
have a "team" of some sort that can operate on phobos1 directly, and
take submissions from the wider community.
These fixes of course would be bug fixes only, and perhaps in some
cases fixes where no behaviour has been defined, but existing
behaviour is (clearly) wrong or non intentional.
I don't known if dsource could be set up to do it but SVN allows per-path
access controls. It might be viable to ask for a more accessible branch (or
branches) that people could play with and then have pieces merged back into
the trunk.
