Just a thought, but I think the official website really needs a Getting 
Started page for newcomers. This page should make it as effortless as 
possible by providing all the information and resources needed for one 
to dive right into D. Not everything needs to be covered by this page, 
but it should provide links as necessary.

Just to list some things that should be covered on this page (you can 
list more):

- Explanation of D 1.x, D 2.x, Phobos, and Tango.
- Explanation and links to different compilers (DMD, GDC, etc)
- Downloads
- List of IDEs / Editors that support D
- Tutorial: Writing and compiling a program in D
- Books / Websites / Resources for learning D
- Libraries for D (e.g. dsource.org)
- Forums / Newsgroups / Newsgroup clients + instructions for configuring

Most importantly, maintain this page! Never let it get out of date!
