It was about contributing to the dlang github so seems
on-topic to me.
It's not clear what you're trying to avoid.
I'm trying to avoid inflation of traffic unrelated to the D
language and environment. I agree that Walter's original post
is on topic but a large part of follow-ups have definitely
migrated into off-topic territory.
I posted a link to a
much-read article about scripting languages' failures, along
with a D
forum link that talks about avoiding one big problem he
raised, on-topic?
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/tvyxljetdhjequhud...@forum.dlang.org
I think so, though his article doesn't mention D.
I do agree that that's on topic. Leaving to each of us to
decide what's on topic should work if we all adhere.

OK,that should be doable. If Vlad adds a header at the top of
the General forum that'll show up above every thread, something
like this:
Please mark any post or thread that doesn't reference the D
language as [OT].
Otherwise, people, especially noobs, would have to constantly be
reminded about this.
