In other words, a consolidated point to gather the community's main wishes for the language, as well as the discussions for them?

I'm kind of leaning towards "no" myself in regards to whether there's any value for such a thing in D, since it just makes me think back to the old "State of D" survey.

But I'd like to see other's thoughts.

I don't think there's a shortage of information about what people want from D. The difficulty is finding the manpower, consensus, and sound, detailed designs required to actually implement things in a way that we won't regret later.

D should investigate more. Investigate the most commonly used libraries. Not limited to languages.
Then investigate which features of other languages users like best.
etc...
