My question is how we can break this pattern? What steps can the D leadership take to convince folks like you to actually add, even with the simplest things?
Speaking as someone new who enjoys dmd (a lot) and considers contributing
* It is really hard to understand what is going on by reading the forum and watching github. * The friction in the forum is just amazing. Very entertaining, but not leading to motivation or contributions.
For me to be able to contribute in any meaningful way, clearer guidelines are needed. Both concerning the communication style in forums as well as technical directions such as what needs to be build and why. I feel the D leadership needs to set priorities and steer the whole effort in a coherent direction.
