Here are great news on the dlang-tour project: As of now I've 
written all content and the latest build is running on

http://dlang-tour.steinsoft.net

Somewhere ago I've implemented running code samples online (which 
are run in a Docker container on the server) so the tour is fully 
functional. There are still some polishing work to be left and 
some issues to be fixed before this should go public: 
https://github.com/stonemaster/dlang-tour/issues

I would appreciate if people could do some proof reading and just 
create pull requests for the content: 
https://github.com/stonemaster/dlang-tour/tree/master/public/content/en.
Or just drop me a message where you find a bug and I'll have it 
fixed.

Thanks,
André
