Welcome to dsource.org

• This site serves as an open source community for the D Programming Language.
• Our goal is to provide an environment conducive to open-source development, including forums, source-code control, bug-tracking, and distribution.
• To further knowledge of programming in D, we also plan to host generously-donated tutorials, showing various techniques, differences from other languages, and best practices of D.
• We now host planet d, a collection of blogs about D.
• This site is tiny small-ish right now, directly mirroring the D community. As the D language grows, we hope to grow as well.
• Please add your feedback and requests to the Site forum or send us an email at "admin AT dsource DOT org".
• A current status of the site can be found on the Site tab.

Getting Started

• For source-code control, there are a few options...
  • Subversion may be used. You can find instructions on how to set up different Subversion clients here
  • Mercurial is now supported (2007 Q3)
  • git is now supported, thanks to Alan Smith (2008 Q1).
• For ticket/bug tracking, code browsing and changesets, roadmap/milestones and project management, as well as wiki documentation, we use Trac.
• If you would like to host a project on the site, please contact us via email at "admin AT dsource DOT org". We do not yet have automated project creation tools. In the email, include the following:
  • project name
  • short description
  • your dsource username (see Forums section)
  • source-code control system
    • svn - Subversion
    • hg - Mercurial
    • git - Git
• dsource.org admins hang out in IRC on Freenode... #dsource is the channel
