As mentioned previously, I've been working on a web frontend for the

that the result is ready for beta testing and general use.

This is an absolutely fantastic development. It's exactly the kind of
thing that D needs - using D to write something nontrivial and highly
useful. I just got in touch with Walter about it, and as of now you have
in us strong supporters for replacing the existing Web bridge with this
one.
One thing though - you must use hyphenation everywhere :o).
Here are a few large topics that we should discuss a bit:
- Would you consider merging your codebase with
d-programming-language.org? That way we'd have a simple deployment
target and simpler unified maintenance. The downside would be that your
project would have less individuality as an independent NNTP-WWW bridge.
(That could be partially addressed with directory structure etc.)
- If not, how do we go about integrating with
d-programming-language.org? For example say we change the navigation
panel on the left. Then we'd need to coordinate with you to pull the
code, regenerate your own page, and so on.
Perhaps as a git submodule in d-programming-language.org? Dfeed would
change to only render the actual feed and somehow it gets included in
the regular site. I'm not entirely sure how since the whole d-p-l.org
site is rendered using ddoc.
