Dsource is The place for D projects. The problem with dsource is if
you're a serious professional and need professional quality libraries
and tools, dsource does nothing in the way of supporting these types
of users. The sections are filled with small hobby projects such as
http://www.dsource.org/projects/libcalc. What I'm looking for is
somehing that emphasizes the names of "important" projects. For
example standard parallel/concurrency/server/socket/vfs libraries are
a first class priority. It takes a day to browse through the list of
mediocre crap.
I was browsing dsource the other day and I wanted to be able to sort
projects by last update date or something, to find the ones which were
being currently maintained. It would certainly be useful to sort by a
category like [alpha] [beta] [stable] etc as well. I think dsource is
the correct place to put any/all of our 'crap' but it just needs to be
easier to sort and find the things you're interested in, at any one
time. i.e. what if you were looking for a project to lend a hand to, no
use finding one which is pretty much [stable] and complete.

An improvement that would really help a lot and probably be quite simple
to do is to let the dsource server serve the project listing as a cached
page. Currently it takes forever to load the project listing which only
changes once per month or so.
