How do I submit documentation...

[Chad J]

...without wanting to slit my wrists?

I see that https://github.com/D-Programming-Language still has a bunch 
of the core D projects huddled together, but no single repository that 
binds it all together.

This is immensely frustrating if I want to do any contributions to DMD, 
Phobos, or the documentation.  Right now I'd like to contribute to 
documentation mostly.  I haven't done so because there is an annoying 
barrier to entry: I better be able to download and compile everything so 
that I can write unittests so that I can write documentation.  I really 
want to be able to download /one single repository/ and then type "make 
all" and have it /just work/.  But no, I have to download each of these 
things individually and figure out where each of them goes in some kind 
of canonical directory structure that everyone except me knows.  Oh, the 
me from a few months ago knew where to put things.  The me from now will 
need to be told again -- or do a grindy search over old emails.

If I'm going to make a pull request for every few words I edit or every 
example/unittest I want to add, then the {pull->edit->make docs->test 
with browser->push} cycle has to be very fast.  Right now, it would 
probably be a few hours before I even have things setup well enough that 
I can even /start/ editing.

I know it takes a while to mess with this stuff because I've done it 
some months ago.  It was thanks to bug #5278 
(http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5278) which makes it so I 
can't use DMD without applying my own patch and building from source. 
I've done it a couple other times when I wanted to mess with DMD/phobos 
internals too.  Every time it takes hours of completely unproductive 
wasted time to build from source.

This is in stark contrast to wikis and the like where there's a button 
to /just edit the page dammit/.  I understand that this would be way too 
unmoderated for D's central projects, but it would be very nice if we 
had something closer to that.  At this point though I'd settle for just 
being able to build dmd/phobos/docs easily because it seems like a 
reasonable thing to ask for.

So how about it, all-encompassing D git repo and buildscripts please?
