I can only speak for myself, but the reason I have been less active
lately has nothing to do with git or github.  I am currently in the
final stages of my PhD, and for the past few months I've been drowning
in work.  (However, I've submitted my thesis for review now, and expect
to have more time for D-related stuff -- at least until the defense date
approaches...)

Personally, I've found that what little programming I've done has been a
lot more enjoyable after the switch to git.

I intend to continue work on this guide, but I'd appreciate if people
could take a brief look at it and comment, so I know if I'm taking it in
the right direction.
