I'm guessing that many ideas for projects have ended prematurely due to similar
problems.

And we can't expect Walter to be in charge of such a page because it would always
be horribly out-of-date. Someone can certainly start a page in Wiki4D
(http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi) if it's something someone wants to do.

Have you looked into using tangobos? (http://www.dsource.org/projects/tangobos)

I'm not saying it's ideal (you'd still need to install Tango and Tangobos), but it
might be easier than limiting your libraries to Phobos-only or Tango-only. It's
another layer to install, but it should make bridging the gap between Tango and
Phobos easier. (I think I gave it a quick test, and it seemed to work okay.)
