These appear to have C interfaces, so should be tractable for D without too much effort.

I think everyone has their personal favorites.  I'd love to see
someone sort out a version of Protobuf for D.  There's one for C,
but the generated headers would still have to be translated,
which isn't ideal.

There's an implementation of protobuf in dub already: http://code.dlang.org/packages/dproto I should probably do some more work on it...

Before we add a bunch of more Deimos projects, can something be
done about the turnaround for Deimos pull requests? Right now, it
looks like the only way to get a pull merged is to ping you
personally to merge it.

I personally consider Deimos legacy with addition of dub and
would actively discourage anyone from using it or relying on it.

There are 13 members of Team Deimos who can pull:

I agree. I see no point in using it.

+1

A Deimos category for dub already exists and is in use.

http://code.dlang.org/?sort=updated&category=library.binding.deimos

There's really no reason to have a centralized repository now that dub is around. It just adds a development bottleneck.

I'd prefer if the name Deimos were dropped as it's less intuitive than calling them by what they are: C bindings.

I'm not sure what happened here (and with the other OpenSSL pull requests), then:

The OpenSSL repo is not assigned to the Deimos team (and I wasn't previously part of it).
