I just wanted to see whether anyone had the idea to write such a thing 
in the past. That seems to be not the case.

A wiki version makes it easy to contribute, that's true.

But contributing people have no feeling about needs of typesetting: 
sometimes things have to be shortened or rewritten. Based on experience I 
would directly write it in LaTeX.

Well, easy  for the community - but will it result in a good piece of 
paper? (Which makes it usefull and successfull.) Only with a good portion 
of handcraft. Automatic conversions seems impossible to me.

Yesterday I wrote a *very early* sheet of things I read about D. I don't 
know D at all thus I just read through some docs and filtered out what 
seemed important. Have a look at this *stub* at
