What would be the nomenclature? Right now we have

Is it possible for D-Programming-Language to be its own
meta-repository so you clone
[email protected]:D-Programming-Language? I guess not.
Indeed.
Then the meta-repository would be
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang. Effectively we
add dlang as another project parallel with dmd, druntime, etc.
People could continue using the current workflow or hop on the
dlang integrated tooling. Is that correct?
Yes.
What's the criteria for including/not including stuff in
D-Programming-Language to dlang?
Interdependent components as a minimum (dmd, phobos, druntime,
tools). But I suppose it's an open question.
Can tools in tools/ assume the dlang layout?
Makefiles already do (e.g. the default settings reference
../phobos/...)
Can they assume the existence of the meta-repo?
Code dealing with the meta-repo can be placed in the meta-repo
directly.
Is the "dlang" name sufficiently descriptive?
I think so.
Possible alternatives: "dev", "core", "essentials", "init",
"bootstrap", "root"...
The repository's name is also the default directory name on the
user's machine when cloned, so I think its name should identify
that it is D-related.
