Awesome-D, and an invitation to you awesome guys

[Puming via Digitalmars-d-announce]

Hi,

I'm maintaining this awesome-d list similar to other 
awesome-stuff lists on github, for keeping a hook on interesting 
D related links.

https://github.com/zhaopuming/awesome-d

At first it was only for my personal use, but recently I got some 
ideas about it that could potentially contribute to the 
community, so here I am making this little announcement and 
invating all you awesome guys to help me :-)

The ideas are:

1. Awesome-People list that made D awesome.
2. A relation network on github projects

First one is about the awesome people, that is you guys. I've 
been lurking in this forum for many years (dating back to D1 
days). But only recently, after watching the great dconf videos, 
have I realized that it is the awesome people that makes the 
language/ecosystem awesome. I want to know you. And I think the 
new comers of D would also like to know you, each one of you 
great guys who made a library/tool that make their programming 
life a better place.

For lack of information and for the respect of privacy, currently 
I have only listed Walter and Andrei on the list, 
<https://github.com/zhaopuming/awesome-d#people>. But I'd really 
like to know about other people here, like kenji the great bug 
killing machie always in the shadow, or bearophile who studied an 
endless list of languages and exploded bugzilla, and many other.

For privacy, I think it's best that only the descriptions 
provided by people themselves or really related people should be 
allowed, or at least a permission is acquired by the person. 
(Sorry Walter and Andrei, I haven't asked for your permissions. 
But you're the stars and public faces here :-), privacy for you 
is a past).

I think people would be interesting to know who you are, what 
have you done, what do you think about D and it's future, what 
are you interesting, etc. Maybe an interview is a better option, 
but I don't know how to do that here. Do you guys have any ideas?

For the second stuff, after I made the awesome-d list, the 
awesome-awesome list maintainer made a pull request to add mine 
to his list and connect. Then I found a list of awesome-c, 
awesome-clojure, and all other awesome lists:

https://github.com/bayandin/awesome-awesomeness

which is very interesting and a good way to find information.

So the similar idea came to me: Why don't try to build a network 
about D stuff? D libs are scattered even in github--you don't 
have a good way to search for the libs you're interested in.

Now we have code.dlang.org, but it is also a one way list. 
Ideally it would be two way: if a person bumped into one of the D 
projects, and in the project there is a link that says "enlisted 
on code.dlang.org", then he can easily go to code.dlang.org and 
see what other interesting, related projects their are.
This is very similar to what "for me on github" does, it makes a 
network.

Of couse, what I want to have is also "enlisted on awesome-d". Do 
you project maintainers think it's good?

One last request for help: You might noticed that I'm not a 
native english speaker, so there are many grammar or style 
problems in the awesome-d list, if you find any, please help me 
fix it.

Best Regards.

Puming
