MAny GitHub projects have "badges"/"shields" on top of their
READMEs - little image strips showing things like continuous
integration status, code coverage, etc.
There's also a service generating these: shields.io
I generated a simple "listed at| code.dlang.org" shield, and
added it to my project READMEs as a link pointing to
code.dlang.org for example, see D:YAML README:
https://github.com/kiith-sa/D-YAML
You can do the same by either linking to or downloading the
shield:
https://img.shields.io/badge/listed%20at-code.dlang.org-red.png
(used red... because mars)
and putting the image (whether as a link to shields.io or your
own copy) into your README.
It's not likely to be a huge improvement, but I expect it *can*
help people notice more D projects and it's trivial to do.
red is connoted negative/agressive, I think blue would be better.
Or maybe yellow-mustard for those who have doubtful tastes...
