I think we could organize ourselves better, too. It's all a matter of 
finding the right angle. But I think management is not what we need. We 
need better leadership. Big difference.

Yah, on the trite side even I'd opine :o). I said this several times 
now, and I'll say it again: I have asked SEVERAL TIMES people 
INDIVIDUALLY to do things that are HIGH IMPACT for the D language 
instead of something else that was more important to them, to no avail.

Of course, it would be learned helplessness to draw sweeping conclusions 
from the experience so far.

Suggestions for doing things better are gladly considered.
