Maybe the wiki should have pages for dmd and Phobos (and
possible druntime) with stuff like this which indicates what
you'd prefer that folks do.
I'd think that bugzilla is a much better mechanism for this, as
you can mark internal dmd enhancement requests as such and
people already browse bugzilla for things to work on, where as
the wiki tends to not get maintained.
*warning*: off-topic!
Tagging them with an according priority or maybe "help wanted" on
their issue tracker is what most project that I know do.
As a newcomer to DLang I would like to point out that such a
roadmap about the project's future is nice to have. I know you
have those nice visions [1, 2], but there are quite hard to find
and aimed at newcomers.
(update: I edited the main wiki page to link to [2] instead of
[1]).
I __really like___ Mozilla's Contributing guide, especially
because they have three categories (Good first bugs [7], mentored
bugs [8], student projects [9]).
Other ideas
------------
* dedicated section at [4] (e.g. Good areas to start with or Help
needed)
* the idea of bountysource is pretty awesome [4] - I can see that
it hasn't been that active over time. What is your experience
with that? Maybe tagging such issues with 10-20$ could help to
attract people if announced properly.
Apart from that I think that your DIP [5] list is pretty sweat,
so putting them in the wiki could work too ;-)
