I think you may have said this in a mean-spirited way, but there is a lot of truth
to this. The best documentation right now is Andrei's book but I think its main
problem is that it's D-language specific, in that it covers the fundamentals of
the language but not too much into the quick-changing standard library. As a
result, it doesn't curb the overhead cost of learning D because you're either: 1)
building tools that already exist -- but don't know existed, or 2) digging through
documentation trying to find what you need.
I wouldn't mind getting a small team of volunteers together to work solely on
centralized, well-organized documentation.
