Steven Schveighoffer - if you are reading, would you be interested in
mentoring a std.stream replacement project?
I'm working on the replacement itself :)

So you are not interested in getting some poor student to do all the
grunt work for you ... or are you planning on being done before 2015 :o)
The design is not finished. I don't want a student to do work that is
going to get thrown away, or completely refactored.
I can certainly see something being possible once the design is finished
and rudimentary implementation is there. I definitely could see an xml
replacement that uses the new streams being a project.
But I didn't see the GSOC thing being a "grunt work" type of thing.
Wouldn't such a student be interested in his/her own project rather than
filling out someone else's? I think we should look at something like
Dmitry's regex replacement as a model for the type of projects we would
like.
In the case where someone wanted to do a project on i/o improvements or
container improvements, I would certainly be willing to mentor.
