Any kind of main place, for example first page of dlang.org, but 
not alone.
I have suggestion in my mind for a month at least:
For D's community is good to formulate something like principles 
or axiomata. (Because as I see, many discussion goes round and 
round about similar things).

One of those principle may sound like this for example:

__D is safe by default and fast when need.__

(This about general design of D, for example about garbage 
collection). Main page has something like this but in descriptive 
not rule-provided form. After formulating such maxima many 
discussion calming itself, because part of ideas will follow 
global goals and another contradict.

In my view such principles have to cover following aspects: 
design of D (about safety, speed, multiparadigmality, glitchness, 
smoothness  and so on), evolution of D (in such cases breaking 
change is allowed and about deepness of breakage, phobos and its 
topics coverage and so on)  and community cooperation (yes, it is 
suggested by Joseph Rushton Wakeling community guidline).

IMO discussion about such axiomata (when comunity interesting in) 
need own topic.
