The design is terrible and it really looks unprofessional.

It just doesn't look very well done.

I'm not trying to be negative or anything, but it looks like 
someone who just learn html/css in 1999 tried to make the 
design of the page.


Perhaps raising money to pay an experienced web designer would 
be a good topic for a fundraiser later this year.


Given that I don't do compiler stuff, I could take a look at it 
to see how I can contribute, for free.


Thanks!

I've just published a post on the blog introducing two new 
initiatives, the Manpower Share and the Manpower Fund, that 
came out of our quarterly D Language Foundation meetings. The 
goal is to help focus energy on getting more effort directed at 
the issues that fall by the wayside. The blog post has all the 
details, so I encourage everyone who cares about improving D 
and its ecosystem to give it a read.

I'm proud of the ever increasing momentum being put behind D.
