I can add a link to that certainly. But there is no point in rewriting stuff.
The Web is supposed to be a hypertext system. Until the link tax gets enforced
obviously.

It's called marketing. But if the D community do not want others to know about
D, that is fine.

Why don't you write the quality answer you expect ? I see you're

Why? I never read that site, and apparently few D people do. I 
realize it's somewhat popular, but it still doesn't have a real 
business model nine years in, and will probably just go belly up 
when they run out of investors' money (there's also a slight 
chance they get bought out by some dumb company like github and 
Tumblr, then fade into irrelevance like Flickr or Myspace).


I honestly don't think it matters if people don't waste their 
time adding free content about D to that site run by former 
Facebook people.
