== Welcome to dsource.org ==
 * This site serves as an open source community for the [http://www.digitalmars.com/d D Programming Language].
 * Our goal is to provide an environment conducive to open-source development, including [/forums/ forums], source-code control, bug-tracking, and distribution.
 * To further knowledge of programming in D, we also plan to host generously-donated [/projects/tutorials/ tutorials], showing various techniques, differences from other languages, and best practices of D.
 * We now host [http://planet.dsource.org 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 [/forums/viewforum.php?f=2 Site forum] or send us an email at "admin AT dsource DOT org".

== Getting Started ==
 * To register as a dsource user, head over to [/forums Forums] and use the Register link.  Because of spam, please also send an email to "brad AT dsource DOT org" so I will know to activate the account.  Sorry for the extra steps, but the forums are better for this change.
 * For source-code control, there are a few options...
   * [http://subversion.tigris.org Subversion] may be used. You can find instructions on how to set up different Subversion clients [/site/svnclient here]
   * [http://www.selenic.com/mercurial Mercurial] is now supported (2007 Q3)
   * [http://git.or.cz/ git] is now supported, thanks to Alan Smith (2008 Q1).  However, [http://github.com GitHub] is superior in just about every way, and is recommended over this site.  Shoot us an email and we can have a project listing that redirects to your github project page.
 * For ticket/bug tracking, code browsing and changesets, roadmap/milestones and project management, as well as wiki documentation, we use [http://trac.edgewall.org 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 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
