ANNOUNCEMENT: GNU-D opens up shop

[Brad Roberts]

An odd statement, since GNU has nothing to do with Apache or Firefox.  
Linux does use the GNU license, and the OS's that build on top of the 
kernel use a ton of GNU tools, which are important, sure.  But let's try 
to leave religious debates (licenses, editors, etc) out of this, they're 
counter productive.

What D needs is people to _do_ stuff, not just talk about.  Work together 
to improve what exists.  Don't fork off and start new, competing, projects 
and websites.  Find something that exists already and improve upon it.  
If something that needs to exist but doesn't, sure, start something new.

We don't need yet another wiki site.  We don't need yet another project 
repository.  We do need people contributing to both.  If you have issues 
with how a part of the community is running, let's work to improve it.

So, wanna help?  Do something, but do it constructively.

Later,
Brad
