I think there's lots of valuable information on the wiki btw, which
is often overlooked for some reason. For contributors, wiki.dlang.org
is much nicer as you don't need ddoc, git, push rights/somebody to
merge pull requests, etc.
dlang.org is authoritative. Again optimizing for ease of contribution
is nice but the real prize is propagating information to the end user.

So why not link to select wiki pages from dlang.org?
Where's the pull request?
Back when I had just started in grad school, I was talking to an older
fellow student with whom I shared the adviser. I mentioned the advisor
had mentioned in passing I should do something (forgot what, maybe read
a paper or register for a conference) but didn't follow through with it.
My labmate stopped me in my tracks: "Dude, as soon as something reached
the level of consciousness of the adviser enough to be mentioned, you
take it and run with it. Adviser won't bother insisting about it."
Walter and I are busy enough as is working on D to NOT have new work cut
out for us. Please steal any work you can from us.
