My propositions for projects, which could be considered for Google Summer of Code:

1. Finishing/polishing TioPort
2. Port Phobos to Tango library
3. Extend Tango for few lacking libraries
4. Finishing D debuger: Ddbg
5. Eclipse plugin: Descent
6. GDC compiler
7.
8.
....

I am writing it because I think there are some very important projects for D Language (as above for example). IMHO GSoC is very good chance to speed up D acceptance among programmers.

Probably respective developers would be interested?...

Note that the Tango project is planning to apply as a mentoring organization.

Is that so? But won't it be restricted to mentoring only Tango-related projects? That would be a rather narrow scope.
How about a "DSource"-level mentor organization?

Would depend on what you consider to be Tango's scope.

As it is, I find the proposals in the Tango camp to be more than enough for us to apply as a mentoring organization. The mentoring organization also needs to provide willing mentors for all suggested projects.
