I was planning to use the info from the D "tour" pages to fill some basic doc required by the sit. I've also seen Ali's book and I find it excellent. I think this is a great idea. I've used exercism with several languages and had a lot of fun. I did some work making a D track a while ago, but let it fall by the wayside. One thing you should do if this goes live is promote it here and encourage people to participate. Exercism really shines if there are active nitpickers (their name for code reviewers) commenting on people's answers. If some of the champion helpers in the Learn forum here participated on the exercism track, it would really help to make it successful, and encourage newbies.

Hi, I would like to know if I can use information from the dlang sit, verbatim or not, to upstart the D language track on www.exercism.io. Thanks
