Nice! A few questions.
What are the changes to the tooling used and the build process?
The original code is written in HTML, JavaScript and Less (CSS). See
repository for build instructions [1]. If I move forward with this I
would go with vibe.d. I would prefer Sass for the CSS and CoffeeScript
for the JavaScript.
That's a large leap. I suggest using Ddoc instead of Sass compact CSS
files, see the existing instance at
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/blob/master/css/cssmenu.css.dd.
CoffeeScript sounds like a nice thing to add and is from what I've heard
reasonably stable.
We can't make the site depend on dub at this time. There have been
situations in the past when dub wouldn't build and nobody was available
to work on it. At that time only the alternate documentation got broken,
but if the site depends on it we're looking at catastrophic failure.
Is there a reasonable decay if javascript is disabled?
No. The top menu uses JavaScript and all the collapsible sections
depends on JavaScript. I hope it's possible to change so the collapsible
sections are expanded by default.
My understanding is this is a sticky point with some, so probably needs
fixing before the release.
Can we defer any changes to the logo so we don't get sidetracked in
this? Just scale the existing logo to fit and defer any changes to it to
later.
Using the existing logo in place of the new one looks quite out of
place. You can easily test that using the developer tools in your
browser. Right click on the image, choose "Inspect Element", modify the
"src" attribute of the "img" tag to point to
"http://dlang.org/images/dlogo.svg";.

Just defer it and we're good.
