Over and over, I hear that CPAN is one of the great reasons people use Java.
Such for D would be a tremendous boost to the D community.
CPAN is so bad that people run away from Perl in horror over to
comfortable but boring old Java? :-P
DSSS was supposed to be a sort of CPAN for D. I think it's still the
easiest way to get the Derelict library installed. Unfortunately it's
really only a very humble start. It lacks any sort of versioning, and
has no web face. And now it's unmaintained.

It would be great if there could be a new DSSS maintainer, or someone to
fix DSSS.
Then I'd imagine a site like dsource.org could easily add CPAN like
functionality, however it would need to make sure to only search for
completed / near completed projects.
