There are two goals behind the blog: to market D to the world at large and to let users know what's going on in the community. Interesting content that furthers either goal is always welcome, but I make no promises to publish any and all submissions. If you've got a D project you'd like to discuss, I'm open to putting together a project highlight [1]. If you've got a specific technical challenge you overcame in D that you'd like to write about, then a guest post like this one [2] would be really nice to see. And we can discuss any other type of content you have in mind. You can send ideas to aldac...@gmail.com and I'll let you know. For the record, most of the content so far has come from me bothering people. A couple of posts were at Andrei's suggestion. Only two others have contacted me out of the blue with ideas. I said yes to both, which should result in two posts in the coming weeks. So the acceptance rate so far is 100% :) [1] http://dlang.org/blog/category/project-highlights/ [2] http://dlang.org/blog/2016/06/16/find-was-too-damn-slow-so-we-fixed-it/

A.D.Ruppe is not in the dlang GH organization but he's an old and notorious user. I think it's also for people who knows themselves a bit, e.g DConf speakers, people who has something to say. About that I find the last post middly interesting.
