I believe a foundation would help D. Unfortunately, setting one
up is very laborious, and neither Walter nor I know anything
about that - from what I understand it takes a _lot_ of work.
If anyone is able and willing to embark on creating a
foundation for D, that would be a great help to the language
and its community.
An alternative is to join an umbrella organisation that has
experience setting up foundations for open source projects. To
name a couple:
Software Freedom Conservancy (Boost), Software in the Public
Interest, and the Outercurve Foundation. As far as I understand
it these organisations will help you with the paperwork, but you
have full autonomy outside of that.
See http://lwn.net/Articles/561336/ for some more
suggestions/ideas.
