Writing up a detailed example with code showing how to avoid the GC in the most common situations, posting it on Reddit, and then making it easy to find on dlang.org would be a good start. Given the importance of these issues, it should be one of the first things you see on the homepage.
That's a great idea. In fact, I'd like to see multiple examples, with many different approaches to manual memory management, going over the common problems (e.g. "How do I do a writefln in a @nogc block?") and how to solve them in idiomatic D. Something like Rust's guide to unsafe programming. This set of examples could be extended as the upcoming DIPs dealing with resource management make it into D compilers.
