I don't know the details, but I read a post somewhere that there 
are misconceptions about how long D, or more specifically D2 has 
been around. I believe these misconceptions could beget questions 
like "D has been around so long, why does it still have so many 
bugs!?" So you're probably right that this should be addressed.

I think the first step would be to draft an email explaining the 
intent to put these companies' logos on the home page as "Proud 
Users of the D Programming Language" and get Walter or Andrei to 
sign off on it. This email could also contain a suggested layout. 
If approved, we could send the letter to the relevant contacts, 
and if we get a decent number of Yes's, we could move forward 
with collecting the companies' information/logos and deciding 
how/where they should be displayed.

This could also act as a sort of plug for the companies involved. 
It could also be discussed whether or not it was a good idea to 
put an "Are you using D?" link on the main page by which a 
company could ask for their name/logo to be included.
