Per http://erdani.com/d/downloads.daily.png, the 28-day moving
average of daily dmd downloads is in pronounced decline
following a peak at the 2.067 release. It is possible that the
recent release of Rust 1.0 has caused that, shifting drive-by
experimenters to it.
I don't know that we should over-react to the recent slump,
especially since it was presaged by such a large spike. I'm
sure it'll pick back up again as people start watching the
Dconf 2015 videos. Filtering out the noise, the daily download
numbers look stable around 1200 for almost the last year.
The real issue is how we take the next jump upwards.
Hopefully, mobile support, which only Dan and I are working on
right now, can help with that. :)
1. It's a big bummer that nothing has happened with chopping
up the videos over the weekend. Right now DConf is three
6-hour blobs of unstructured footage. John has warned us he
might not have broadband access to do so during his travels.
In retrospect, what we should have done was to immediately
arrange that John gives access to the videos to someone
willing and able to do the postprocessing.
Given the subpar quality of the livestream, I'm not sure we
should be highlighting those videos. I've watched several
hours of the livestream and the frequent audio dropouts are
very annoying. What is the plan to put out the better videos
recorded by the organizers: put them all out as soon as they're
available or stagger their release?

4. We need to marshal our efforts behind 2.068, and clarify
the big ticket items accomplished. I'm thinking rangification
of Phobos - GC no longer needed for most primitives, and
documented where needed. As much as I want it, ddmd seems to
not be happening for 2.068 because of, simply put,
insufficient resources.
Can you expand on why ddmd is getting delayed? I, and
seemingly many others, were looking forward to ddmd. I did not
see Daniel's talk as it wasn't livestreamed. Perhaps we can
help get ddmd out the door.
Im Curious, is the effort putting more focus towards iOS or
Android?
Also, it would probably help if the version numbers didnt
increment so slowly.
Maybe 2.10 for DDMD?
