Motiviated by Ruslan's comments I thought I would make a
suggestion I had been thinking of with regards to the Forums. The
Forums organization seems a bit out of date. For example there
are a number of topics that are rarely ever receive posts, but
they appear before busy forums, such as D.learn. I wonder if this
might be one of the reasons why obvious learner questions get
posted to digitialmars.D on occassion. Any easy way to deal with
this would be to sort forums by post count rather than
alphabetically, but that has its own issues.


Perhaps the D forums could be split into two separate headings:

1. D Programming - general D related programming questions could
go here. It could include:
-  D.learn (More focused for newer D users)
-  D.phobos (questions about use of standard library)
-  D.programming (more advanced questions)
-  Debugging/Profiling (was digitalmars.D.debugger - on first
reading sounds like the forum is

2. D Development (this isn't a great name - but it would include
forums
more focused on the Development of the D language). Some topics
might
include:
- current digitalmars.D forum
- announce
- digitalmars.D.bugs
- digitalmars.D.ldc
- D.gnu
- dmd-beta
- dmd-concurrency
- dmd-internals
- phobos
- D-runtime

I exclusively use the Forum's and perhaps such a reorganization
would be too much trouble for folks who uses newreaders/email,
but I thought I would but the suggestion out there.
