It is frustrating because i want this to be done well as it could 
really help D take off. If it's done poorly we will be the 
laughing stock especially as our immediate competition is other 
programming sites.

http://new-www.haskell.org/
https://www.python.org/
https://developer.apple.com/swift/
https://www.ruby-lang.org
http://www.perl.org/
https://www.dartlang.org/

If the new D site isn't at least as good as any of the above we 
have failed. I'm up to my eye balls in other projects at the 
minute so i can't contribute any code.
