I can only speak for myself, but the reason I have been less active lately has nothing to do with git or github. I am currently in the final stages of my PhD, and for the past few months I've been drowning in work. (However, I've submitted my thesis for review now, and expect to have more time for D-related stuff -- at least until the defense date approaches...) Personally, I've found that what little programming I've done has been a lot more enjoyable after the switch to git. > In any case, Lars created a nascent guide for contributions to Phobos, which > we should probably build on and update as necessary: > > http://www.kyllingen.net/guide.html > > So, if you're looking for documentation, that's what we have.

I intend to continue work on this guide, but I'd appreciate if people could take a brief look at it and comment, so I know if I'm taking it in the right direction. -Lars _______________________________________________ phobos mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/phobos
