I've been meaning to ask, and I'll just take this oppurtunity, and it relates 
to what Jeff just said:

If one would like to donate money to D, how would one do that?
Would it even make any sense? Or be needed?

And this naturally raises the question: Who/what owns D? Is it a non-profit, a 
group of people, or a business? And regardless of who owns D, is there any 
D-only organisation that one could support, financially? I'm not demanding an 
answer, I'm just sharing my thoughts.

I mean, it would feel weird to donate money to Digital Mars, a for-profit 
company, that does all kinds of things, including C++, right? If I was to feel 
confident in donating it would have to be to some sort of formally founded 
non-profit legal body with some sort of constitution like "to further the 
development of D" or something. I don't know how these things work. I guess 
right now D is too small and the legal cost of just maintaining such an 
organisation would surpass any donations anyway.
