Looks very nice, not much content yet but I will continue to 
check it out from time to time to see if I can make any 
suggestions.

One minor nit-pick.  On the page:

http://beza1e1.tuxen.de/d-tut-0.1/philosophy.html

while I got a chuckle out of "D is what C++ wanted to be.", I 
might omit this. Insulting C++ isn't likely a great way to 
attract the C++ crowd, which is one of our major target audiences.

Good work,
