Should we add links to Mono-D and DDT aswell?
I think so.
Ok, will add these. Bruno and Alex, is it ok for you? What are the
appropriate links? Are there any direct download links?
Thanks very much for leading this.
Links are still to other sites, how do we get the installer and the
Visual D pages uploaded to dlang.org?
Walter, Brad, or I need to do the upload for now (we're working on
improving the process). What you'd need to do is just create pull
requests for the site and the installer. Once pulled, we'll build and
upload.
Do you mean that I should add the documentation to the dlang.org
repository? It's currently part of the visuald repository, and it could
also be referred to by the makefile in dlang.org, but that might mean
that people building that will also have to clone the visuald repository.
I preapprove any pages that refer exclusively to Visual D in the
dlang.org repo. I trust you to design and write them within the site
look and feel, and to organize them in directories appropriately.
Alternatively, if you prefer to distinguish Visual D's identity, feel
free to keep your own site and pages for it. I'd personally prefer
integration - we're small enough to thrive on integration.
Regarding the installer: Visual D should be built with a precise GC, but
that's currently only possible with a patched compiler and runtime. I'll
have to provide the binaries somehow, but I think git isn't appropriate
to do so.
Hmmm, where's that effort right now? The fact that we have a serious
application needing precise GC is a good argument to make it the
default, or at least an easy to choose option.
