I turn off JS for dlang.org, and it's much more navigable. Seriously,
whatever it is that's causing that, needs to be removed. AFAICT, it's
just to generate the useless blob of links at the top of the page. We
need a *real* index, not a blob of links.

I agree that news should be posted on the front page. I disagree that
it's too documentation-oriented, though. It *should* be documentation
oriented. Too many websites these days pay too much attention to frills
without delivering real content. I don't want the D website to turn into
that.

+1, docs for past releases should be available somewhere. (And by that I
mean somewhere navigable on a browser, not a .zip file download.)
