Sounds great! Welcome again!

I'd added you already under your actual name.

Mont Blanc vacation? Wow! Where do you live?

Thanks Andrei, thanks everyone in the Phobos ML for accepting me!

It'll be a pleasure to participate in all the good stuff I see over there!

Andrei, I already have a dsource account and currently use svn under
Windows (Vista) and linux (Kubuntu 10.04, but I do not have dmd
installed there). Rest assured, I do not intend to break Phobos from day
one :o)

I don't know if that's customary to present oneself here? I'm 36 yo
(ouch), happily married for more than 10 years, father of three children
(6 yo, 3 yo, 8 months). I got a PhD 10 years ago on organic LED, the
kind you now all have on you, but was 10-by-6 green pixels back then :o)


Things I'd like to help with:

* Phobos code, obviously, notably std.algorithm, functional, traits,
range, typecons, container, string, numeric, array, typetuple, maybe
variant... I'm feeling more or less confident on these, and totally
incompetent on any other :o) I will not touch core.*, even with a 10-ft
pole. Anyway, I guess it's not part of Phobos proper.

* Improving the documentation & examples for Phobos. I feel like most
functions and templates should have an example, if only a one liner. As
an aside, some modules could have satellite articles attached to them,
with a more developed example exercising the module, for example in
dmd/samples -> /container, /string etc. Reading the docs is good, seeing
more than a one-liner is even better.

* unit tests...

* Cleaning the DMD examples up: maybe putting some of the useful scripts
you like so much? Also, see above for my proposition to have more
extended examples for some modules.

* Updating the website documentation, if that's OK with Walter. I feel
like some people on the main ML could be invaluable in this.


And... I'm going on holidays in a few hours, in a place where I fear
Internet access is not perfect (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_blanc ). I won't bother you for some time.

cheers,

Philippe
