Development blog? D news?

Take a look at the website (either digitalmars, or d-programming-language).
There is absolutely no indication on those sites that the D language is
actually going anywhere. Other than version numbers on the downloads,
nothing changes. Outsiders have no idea what's going on.
Here's a suggestion: Why not start a development blog, on the home page
of d-programming-language.com, or digitalmars.com that Walter and/or
Andrei (maybe anyone working on D) post to regularly? Things are always
being discussed inside the news groups, and I'm sure other people would
like to read about your thoughts on language and library design. More
importantly though, it would show that the language is actively under
development, and would get people excited about D.
I know that Walter and Andrei often post articles on Infomit or DDJ, but
what's the point of linking people away from the actual D sites? Get
people linking here.
One potential problem with this is that both websites seem to be raw
HTML hacked together with no CMS to be found. I would recommend just
starting over at d-programming-language.com with a Joomla install (or
something similar). You could easily have it all set up in under a day.
I'm no web-guru, but I could help out if needed.
P.S. Whoever is responsible for d-programming-language.com, please use
google.com/webmasters... The 'Library Reference' link has been broken
for a while now, which is unacceptable when there's a free tool out
there that will tell you about it.
