D Online Presence

[nick]

The thread "Today the Hobbyist, Tommorow, The World!" seems to have
drawn a group of people interested in improving the online presence of
D. I read many reassuring posts and decided to create a new thread
specifically for the purpose of improving the online presence of D.

Ideally D's online presence would be centralized. It would be approved
and supported by Walter. Perhaps what we need is an "official" D site;
one that would replace http://www.digitalmars.com/d/ (only with Walter's
blessings, naturally). Walter would have the final say for what happens
on this site, but the community could provide more content and present
it well while freeing up Walter's time to work on the language.

I have made a template layout, and would like to donate it to the D
cause. I hope I'm not being pretentious when I assume that with a little
bit of polish, this layout will be good enough to represent D online.

Walter, what do you think about this?


Anyone interested in helping, anyone with criticism/suggestions, etc, I
would like to hear from you.

Some of the immediate questions that would need to be answered are:
 - Walter's blessing (after all, we can't be "official" without that)
 - reliable hosting
 - new wiki (wiki4d has good content, do we have permission to use it?)
 - content: wiki content, tutorials for D, library reference; a lot of
it exists but we need to bring it to one place with permission
