Could people please try checking out the project on GitHub, and committing a change? Git commits are local, and will always succeed. I'm guessing you actually want to allow anyone to push their commits to your repository, which is not how collaboration on GitHub works. You may want to read up on pull requests: https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/ I'm sorry about the Dsource malfunctions. When I took over hosting, my goal was to archive it in a read-only state. The move has eaten much more of my time than I have anticipated, because it depends so much on ancient software that is difficult to get running these days short of making a virtual machine. There's still plenty of work to do on WindowsAPI so you could do some of the work there. (The wiki is broken at the moment, so I don't recommend trying to edit the module list there, but as a temporary measure you could just post on this thread if you're going to do some major work on one or more of the files.) The module list has no value these days. Most people in that list no longer use D. Git allows quickly checking the history of any one file. Contributions to the project itself have been so few that it makes no sense to partition out module ownership. If the decision is made to relocate Bindings permanently to GitHub, the wiki pages will be migrated in due course. Given that SVN is going the way of RCS and CVS, it's not really an "if".

On Friday, 17 April 2015 at 21:34:07 UTC, Stewart Gordon wrote: Has Walter promised us that every pull request for the WindowsAPI bindings will be put in right away? Pull requests are merged once they pass review and automatic testing. Walter Bright is not the only person who can merge pull requests - anyone with commit access can. Even if he had, what would be the point? It would greatly slow down the whole process. We have SVN repositories so that people can just put their updates straight in, Only those who have access can do that. Getting patches into the bindings repository has been historically difficult. Committers have had to commit patches on behalf of other people. and everyone else not only has access to the update straight away but can obtain it with either a one-line command line invocation or a few mouse clicks. Git is not different in this regard. Proposed changes are immediately available in your personal fork.
Trial migration of Dsource bindings project to Github
In the light of problems with SVN on dsource, the Bindings project has been migrated to GitHub on a trial basis. Apparently this is more or less the last "active" project on Dsource, so after a brief discussion on another thread I have decided to give it a try. So it's now at: https://github.com/smjgordon/bindings Please don't confuse this with dsource-bindings, which is an automatically updated mirror of the Dsource project. The one I have linked to is a new repository on GitHub which may become the live repository for the Bindings project. For those of you who are still unfamiliar with GitHub, it's a Subversion repository just like we had on dsource, so you don't need to learn a new way of working or obtain any new tools - you just need to set up a GitHub account if you don't have one already. Could people please try checking out the project on GitHub, and committing a change? There's still plenty of work to do on WindowsAPI so you could do some of the work there. (The wiki is broken at the moment, so I don't recommend trying to edit the module list there, but as a temporary measure you could just post on this thread if you're going to do some major work on one or more of the files.) Failing that, there's a file test.txt (directly under trunk) which you could make a dummy edit to. But whatever you do, please be sure to reply to this thread to let me know whether or not you could commit successfully. If the decision is made to relocate Bindings permanently to GitHub, the wiki pages will be migrated in due course.

Re: dsource.org moved
The wiki is terribly broken at the moment. I just edited a page http://www.dsource.org/projects/bindings/wiki/WikiStart and it changed every linebreak to the literal string `\r\n`. The page looks OK in preview, but then it breaks when you actually save it. Stewart. -- My email address is valid but not my primary mailbox and not checked regularly.

I'm going to give the website and phobos documentation a pass making corrections and adding examples, beefing up, etc. So i'll trawl bugzilla looking for low hanging fruit/easy stuff to get my feet wet. I've run into a few problems[1] with building the website and documentation. DMD, druntime and phobos all build easily but dlang.org sources are a pain. I wonder if anyone has built the website recently from scratch to make sure it all works? Also the tools repository needs work to build too. This is because of the `if(arr)` warnings.
