Well, maybe no one has joined it because no one has joined it. (recursion can kill you ;-). Tell you what: I will take the step of joining the project. I already promised Leandro that I would help in whatever limited way I could, even if it is just documentation and publicity. Will you at least take that step also?

That would be a perfect start. My whole interest here is to create something that would provide an open standard, by which someone could implement Tutorial D in any language (within reason). Why not contact Leandro, the project manager? I know that BNF specs are exactly what he is looking for right now.
