This suggests hiring someone for marketing.

You can start by using the term "woman" rather than "female". 
Deemphasizing people's humanity isn't a good way to get them into your 
community.

It's unfair to demand that a woman come in and help out with a project 
based on stereotypes. If I chose an arbitrary woman to help out, she is 
likely not to have the requisite skills.

You also want us to find a woman willing to do this without compensation 
-- you're not talking about hiring a part time community manager.

Note that community management is much different from marketing. 
Community management is about curation and internal promotion. Adam 
Ruppe's _This Week in D_ is the sort of thing a community manager would 
do. Marketing is about bringing people to D -- representing it at events 
and on social media, that kind of thing.

> Coders suck at these things and its not helping.

See what you just did there? You created a false dichotomy between women 
and coders. There are tons of women who can code. The first programmer 
was a woman. The first person to write a compiler was a woman.

You also insulted everyone here in the same breath.

> This is not about gender balance crap, it about building a community.

Not pushing away half the world by slighting them and demanding that they 
work for free at the same time would be a good start.

You could suggest that the D foundation hire a part-time community 
manager (we're low traffic; 5-10 hours a week should do) and donate to 
help accomplish that.

If you know in advance that you have to ask forgiveness for something, 
you could simply not do it in the first place.
