You could help out and contribute to DWT, for example.
Thank you for offering. Atm, I'm more leaning to some of the other 3
toolkits, but wonder why DWT did not become THE D toolkit?
Probably because the original author abandoned the project. I think he
worked fulltime on the project, that's why the project progressed so
fast. Another guy who contributed quite a lot of code, porting of the
browser package, just stopped contributing one day and wasn't reachable.
Then it was basically me left. I have focused on other D related project
and haven't prioritized DWT in quite a while. There have been a couple
of people contributing since the original author left the project. I've
only basically tried to merged in their changes.
I have recently started to move the repository to github, hoping it will
get some more attention. All the code is moved but I need to setup git
submodules and update the build script. One reason I haven't prioritized
DWT is because I'm running Mac OS X and that port isn't finished. So
when I need to fix a bug or make sure a patch works I need to boot Linux
or Windows virtually, which I try to avoid. It just takes some extra
effort to fix a bug or similar.
I've created an organization at github with all the repositories:
