If D.Learn were to shift to SO, there is the possibility that D would get more presence in the programming world generally. Personally I have never really contributed to SO, but (sadly) I am beginning to see the benefit of having material there. Google and Bing do much more in the way of indexing there than they do of the D mailing lists. (The Chapel folk are trying to make a push to get as much of their D.Learn equivalent material on SO and it is already showing benefit.) -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
