The sad reality is that most guys in the industry perceive females as inferior, so using a name like 'tanya' will have a poor effect on your project. You want to reach as many minds as possible, regardless of how good or bad your library is, so pick a manly name.

I don't see both related. The 1st property is about library design, the 2nd about code management. If I can somehow only use the event part without having to get all other stuff in that's perfect. Putting everything into one repository is OK for me as well, makes handling the lib simpler. -- Robert M. Münch http://www.saphirion.com smarter | better | faster

I absolutely agree with the first but not sure about the second point.

I finally got around implementing running dmd/druntime/phobos pull requests against all dub packages. Thank you digger, for making it so easy. I did a run of master + druntime#1602. Then I ran a comparison with a batch from 2.071.2-b2. 108 packages had a different build result. I have no nice stats or pictures, but a quick glance over the raw data: 50 of them went from green unittests to a dmd exit code 1. 16 went from unknown build results to dmd exit code 1. 10 went from dmd exit code 255 to 1 9 of them are now green. 8 of them went from linker errors to a dmd exit code 1. 6 of then went from non-zero exit code during unittest run to a dmd exit code 1. 3 previous ran out of memory but now resulted in dmd exit code 1. etc. All in all I think +/- 96 package are affected. A little over 11%. That's awesome to know! How difficult would it be to integrate it with the dlang GitHub PR workflow? I am just shooting an idea that popped into my head: We already use CircleCi and Travis for the dlang repos, so if we lock the packages to a fixed version (to prevent failures caused by the package authors), we might be able create a simple file like: ``` vibe.d==0.7.29 mir==0.16.3 ... ``` We could select a subset (e.g. 50-100), s.t. the runtime doesn't get exorbitant. Following we could then do enable the checking in CircleCi with sth. similar to: ``` wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dlang/community-list/master/dlang-packages.master # just an example, idea is to host the file somewhere on GitHub s.t. editing it is easy dub fetch your-fancy-tool --version="x.y.y" dub run your-fancy-tool --config dlang-stable.packages ``` Of course CircleCi doesn't have the access rights to post back to the hook API, but you could send a notification to dlang-bot [1] which has the permissions or let the CI error / fail. Otherwise you could of course look into setting up your own job queue (or hack with the code from the auto-tester [2]), which might be fun too.

Could you change the name to something more recognizable to help with D's popularity? Something like 'kardashian' might be better. Nobody really knows 'tanya', do you know what I mean? Maybe even 'madonna', so people will know that D is just as talented as others languages. Marketing is going to be key for D, so let's do our best. I think I disagree.
