Everything else is boost licensed. Consistency.

I think it's a great idea. It'd have to be Boost licensed, 
though.

I have requested repository transfer to Andrei because only 
members of a organisation can transfer.


Andrey or/and someone from D core team, please send me your user 
names at readthedocs.org.

Good idea


The hackathon week roundup

2015-05-02 Thread Andrei Alexandrescu via Digitalmars-d-announce
The hackathon week (Apr 25 - May 1) saw 70 PRs created (compare to 68 
created Apr 18 through 24). Not much difference in terms of new work, 
but the PRs closed during the same two periods (75 vs 53) reflect a good 
bump in the reviewing activity. Another related data point: 143 PRs were 
updated (e.g. revised, commented on etc) during the hackathon week vs. 
78 the week before that. Great work, thanks!


Some good stuff has been happening, some manifestly hackathon-related, 
some perhaps just coincidental.


* Article Using D Templates for Gamedev: 
https://marfisc.wordpress.com/2015/04/29/using-d-templates-for-gamedev. 
Did well on reddit 
(http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/34ah1q/using_d_templates_for_game_development/) 
although it's been classified as spam for a few hours.


* Proof of concept: 
https://github.com/JinShil/stm32f42_discovery_demo/blob/master/README.md


* Tutorial: http://d.readthedocs.org (btw should we link that from the 
homepage?)


* WIP: tracing memory allocations, see 
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/mhhmnr$2euj$1...@digitalmars.com,

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/4625, 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/1246.


* The if(arr) warning has been undone. This has caused a fair amount 
of stir. We believe we made the right call, though sadly it's impossible 
to make everyone happy. Please bear with us.


* WIP: Unique https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/3225 
and RefCounted (can't seem to find the PR - where is it?)


* WIP: allocators http://forum.dlang.org/thread/mi1qph$cgr$1...@digitalmars.com

All in all, a great week! Congratulations to all participants, and let's 
do it again sometime. I'm looking into ways to make this more 
interactive (google hangouts?) and more fun (contests? prizes? etc). 
Chime in!


Again - this is terrific. Many thanks to everyone who participated!

already got pulled
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/3171

Worth adding:
AFAIK unique(?) and refcounted are completely usable in @nogc, 
and most of the unit tests likely can be marked @nogc for them to 
help prevent breakage.
