The harder it is made for people to contribute the system for fixations,
the lesser changes are seen.

I don't think we've had many contributions via the "Improve this page" button.


I don't know how representative it is, but once in a while, i forgot all of this is in DDoc, I notice something, what to do a quick patch, and end up being reminded this is in DDoc and I have no idea how to fix the thing, because suddenly, what looked like a quick fix end up being learning a new macro language.

DDoc itself is very simple. The problem is the endless number of macros we use on dlang.org. E.g. all the different ways to link to something: A, AHTTP, AHTTPS, ALOCAL, LINK, LINK2, WEB, LREF, XREF, XREF2, CXREF, ECXREF, MYREF, FULL_XREF, STDMODREF, COREMODREF, OBJREF... There is also no strong reason to use e.g. DIVCID instead of plain HTML.
