I no longer get d-programming-language.org results in Google and hitting that site redirects you to dlang.org (and it works on a per page basis and redirects to the correct location on the new domain). Also, I just created this https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/d-programming-language.org/pull/94 which I think gets the remaining stragglers. Regards, Brad Anderson
