I think some of Walter's Dr. Dobb's posts would also fit very well in a 
D blog format. It would be cool if he could get permission to post a 
copy on this hypothetical blog.

The current Articles section on the website may have some overlap with 
the purposes of a blog, too. Perhaps they could be merged somehow, or 
perhaps provide a "promotion" process from one to the other.

This blog idea (and offer to volunteer) probably deserves its own thread.
