Your project (an open source platform for programming
exercises) looks very nice. I don't see any problem in using
information from dlang.org - especially for teaching D to
newcomers. Most of the content is licensed under the Boost
license, however if you are in doubt you should ask Andrei and
Walter. They can speak for the D Language Foundation.
Btw you should also have a look at tour.dlang.org and Ali's
excellent book: http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/index.html
Thanks for the pointers.
It is not my project. It was started by Katrina Owen. I'm
trying to get
involved and as I'm also learning D I was thinking it would be
a good
idea to jumpstart the D track there.
I was planning to use the info from the D "tour" pages to fill
some basic
doc required by the sit. I've also seen Ali's book and I find
it excellent.
I think this is a great idea. I've used exercism with several
languages and had a lot of fun. I did some work making a D track
a while ago, but let it fall by the wayside.
One thing you should do if this goes live is promote it here and
encourage people to participate. Exercism really shines if there
are active nitpickers (their name for code reviewers) commenting
on people's answers. If some of the champion helpers in the Learn
forum here participated on the exercism track, it would really
help to make it successful, and encourage newbies.
