Would anyone be interested in a collaboration forum? I am
thinking of
starting one on Proboards to aid in development/collaboration
between
developers on D and libraries/bindings. Reading through the
posts, I
have seen that several people have created small projects that
do the
same thing (I have seen multiple for MySql alone, none of
which has
really gained true traction).
So here is what I propose:
1) The forum will be host different aspects of development
(Database/bindings, Phobos development, networking tools,
etc.).
2) Form dev. committees to fill the most useful tasks in the
group of
choice. For example, focusing on doing one thing quickly and
sustainably
rather than burning out creating a project alone that will be
difficult
to maintain afterwords.
3) This should help increase the number of code examples,
increasing the
visibility of D to anyone interested. Hopefully, this will
also increase
the community.
I think it's a great idea - DETF (D Engineering Task Force).
For this to succeed, I think connecting to existing
communication
channels is very important. This means NNTP/mailing list,
github,
auto-tester, dub, wiki (with DIPS) etc etc.
Setting up some new PHP forums will only split the community.
I like Andrej initiative much more
(http://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected]).
Self-organized smaller groups of developers focused on specific
domains of application.
