Well, on 26th of August you wrote: "I am also stepping down as a
maintainer, including the pre-built GDC distribution
(gdcwin/gdcgnu/gdcmac) and the Code::Blocks support for D." and after
being questioned by Andrej: "Do you mean you're stepping down as the
maintainer of wxd, or just the GDC/CodeBlocks stuff?" your answer was:
"All three. Mostly wxD, but also the others - not using." and your firt
message cited above when all this wxD-thingie has started for me. :-)

I understand you.

Not at all, but considering wx-3.0 is the future, the project is stalled
at the moment.

Congratulations!

I was not aware you took care so long for the project. Too bad I was not
around earlier since for me it does not make sense to start developing
wxD application now with 2.8.x.

So, I can only say: "Thank you" for pushing so long alone without proper
support of other members within D community.

Let's hope there will be more interest for GUI in D in the future if D
wants to sell itself on 'practicality' ("D is a multi-paradigm
programming language that combines a principled approach with a focus on
practi­cality.")


Sincerely,
Gour
