By reading this thread I just learn that dsource.org is "dead".

And by going deeper in the wiki I found a page that replace 
dsource.org as an entry point to D related projects :
http://wiki.dlang.org/Libraries_and_Frameworks

I think this page should be more visible on dlang to show how 
much the community is large to the newcomers.

Maybe a Dquick will have a little place near others GUI Libraries 
when it will be more than a protytpe. I can see that all 
multi-platforms ones are wrappers and others only support 
Windows. I am a Windows user, but I don't understand why others 
platforms are forgotten.
