No. The only article that I've actually written is the "Introduction to
std.datetime" that's on the main site and really should be rewritten now
that std.date is long gone. I've been intending to write more but haven't
gotten around to it (in part due to a lack of time and in part, because I
wanted to get my own website up so that I had a place to put articles, and I
only got that up finally this morning even though I've been intending to do
it for ages). I'll probably do a write-up on shared at some point precisely
because we need one, but I don't know when.
