Thank you Seb and the other.

Sorry for going off the rails but i do like D a lot. Its the only 
reason i keep coming back for the same punishment time and time 
again. It simply gets so frustrating at times what feels like 
running into a stone wall.

Maybe the real issue is not the issues that need to be solved but 
the lack of "news". The blogs are very interesting and i applaud 
them. But is it maybe not time to have a real news section on the 
site where project status updates are provided. We are not 
talking blogs but smaller news snipes that do not take a lot of 
time, so people who do not spend there life on the forum or other 
locations feel like there is indeed movement. It can also help in 
the actual marketing.
