I think we all agree that general is having to much traffic
and according to CyberShadow [1] this again is just an
approval issue, however I expect this a bit controversial, so
please no OT! Only other category proposals.
Proposed categories:
- DMD
- DRuntime
- Phobos
- Language design (or Idea pool)
- D Foundation + resources
- Events
- Other (formerly known as General)
I want to stress that whatever categories we pick, we have to
adapt them anyways if we realize that something is noisy
again or too silent.

Without moderators to move mismatching topic between groups
any more fine grained separation will do more harm than good.
NG in its current form is simply not a good tool for focused
technical discussion and won't be. "Get rid of OT" idea sounds
like mockery to anyone who doesn't spend his entire lifetime
posting here because 90+% of NG posts are absolutely
irrelevant.
To avoid confusion the proposal is to reduce the number of
forums from 14 (currently) to 7. So we are halfing the number
and are _not_ introducing more fine grained separation. Instead
the idea was rearange the forums to sth. like this:
New users:
- Learn / Help
Community:
- General
- Annouce (Official annoucements)
- Broadcast
Development:
- Core (Language and standard library development)
- GDC
- Third-party (Dub universe)
I like this list better than the current, but with one change:
taking LDC out of core and renaming it to LDC and LLVM so other D
projects that leverage LLVM can be hosted there (e.g. SDC,
Calypso, CPP2D, etc) and to be on par with GDC.
