Would anyone be interested in taking on the task of looking at the existing samples and modernizing them? Some should likely be junked as not terribly educational examples. Likely more should be added to illustrate other best practices.
They can be found here: http://www.dsource.org/projects/phobos/browser/samples/d Arguably they need to be versioned along with each branch of the language, so assume they'll be moved to: http://www.dsource.org/projects/phobos/browser/branches/phobos-1.x/samples and http://www.dsource.org/projects/phobos/browser/trunk/samples I see no good reason to keep the 'd' part of the directory name, it's not like the dmd .zip files are going to suddenly start shipping other languages.
