I think contributing to D requires more than a VM image download and a good old Wiki page gets the job done as well. When you dived in that far you probably have a native installation. It's something different to have additional VMs to test code on Linux, Windows and MacOS X without rebooting. But obviously you cannot offer downloads of Windows and MacOS X. What do you think is missing for a beginner when they open up dlang.org and download DMD for their platform? Probably a curl installation on Windows? A GUI toolkit? Obvious links to the News Group or Wiki? -- Marco
