Might I suggest the following:

Python documentation:

- is updated along with each version of the language: the documentation 
  is part of the release, just as Python is.

- is versionned: each version of Python has it's own set of 
documentation, the old ones are still accessible.

- is centralized. Although you can find lots of tutorials and 
explanations all over the web, you can find precice, concice description 
of everything in the Python web site.

- Each document gets contribution from the entire Python community but 
each document has an *editor*.  Fred L. Drake and AMK have been doing a 
tremendous jobs (and they *are* programmers).

I agree with people that state that Python's documentation is great. In 
fact the entire Python project is very well managed.  I also like the 
concept of PEP (Python Enhacement Proposals) that are similar to RFCs.

I understand that D is still under development and I'm sure things will 
continue to evolve for the best.
