I'm worried about it being too dry, as it's really just
regurgitating information that's already freely available and
probably has already been read by a lot of people who watch the
newsgroup/Github. Also, we have to think about the image that the
D community projects, so I'd like to keep a friendly and informal
tone. However, perhaps the machine metaphor is a bit too
poetic/pretentious.

I agree. The problem is that I'm not entirely sure what I need
currently, and I suspect that I won't know until I'm in the thick
of things. It's good to keep in mind, however, that this is not
meant to be a big professionally-produced undertaking (unless
other people want to contribute and make it professional). I'm
only one person, after all, so I do not want to be overly
ambitious in scope.
