Hey,

Let me tell you a little story - once there was the amazing Dconf at the beginning of this month (4-6.5).

We put a notice about it on dlang.org "DConf 2016 is coming up: May 4-6 in Berlin, Germany. Secure your seat before it's sold out!".

It took two weeks, but finally karthikeyan had the time to shout and report the outdated message [1].

The PR was merged subsequentially quite fast, but this was more than a weeek ago and we still have the annoucement about DConf on our landing page.

I talked with CyberShadow a bit, because setting up a CI and deploying the website automatically on a merge doesn't seem difficult and to quote him the main problem is approval:

We already have http://wiki.dlang.org/User:Vladimir_Panteleev/Website_staging so it's not a matter of implementation, just everyone agreeing that it's what we want to do

Imho it makes a lot of sense to do this, because showing such horribly (>=more than three weeks) outdated news on dlang.org makes a terrible impression and merging something should be the approval, not the huge latency of our dlang.org maintainer (no offense).

If you are against this automatic deployment or want to do it manually yourself, please shout now.
