I suggest also having the description of the legal aspects of
contributing identified in an easier to find location. There is a
brief summary of copyright assignment in the Starting as a
Contributor page
(http://wiki.dlang.org/Starting_as_a_Contributor#Copyright_assignment), but it's not particularly easy to find.
Similarly regarding licensing. I was able to find two statements
in the FAQ page ("Is D open source", "Why does the standard
library use the boost license? Why not public domain", but wasn't
especially easy to find these.
Could be I'm just looking in the wrong places for this info, but
a clear link from the home page might be worthwhile.
