This is something that has gone in fits and starts over the
years because of a lack of dedicated manpower, but the pace has
been gradually to picking up. As of recently, I'm working on
several tasks in this direction, big and small, with the
support of the D Foundation. For example, we now have a D
Language Foundation channel on youtube [1] where I'm currently
in the process of collecting DConf videos that are scattered
around different sites and accounts (working on 2014 first,
since several of the video links on that edition of dconf.org
were broken). It's not ready for announcement yet, but I hope
to be there by the end of the year. There are a number of other
things I'm looking at that have tended to slip through the
cracks because they've been overlooked or no one has stepped in
to do them.

Since Mike started the official D blog last summer, downloads of
the reference compiler are up 90%:

I don't think that's a coincidence and attribute a significant
chunk of that to his efforts and those who wrote posts, which is
why I suggested starting an official blog years ago.
