A couple of months ago I was handing out congratulations to Mike Wey on his splendid work in creating gtkd2.

I have had a good go at it since, and with a couple of small glitches along the way, it has been as close to flawless as I can imagine.

Anyway, I have got a long way down the road I've been following, but I'm getting close to the point where I need some help.

There's a very quick description of what I'm doing at http://britseyeview.com/compo/ - even that is not finished yet. But anyway, if anyone in the D community is interested, I could use some help with:

1) QA - on Debian based systems - I need people to break it.
2) Building on a recent version of Windows.
3) Advice on which repository to use for the source code.

Thanks
Steve

I wouldn't trust sourceforge, there's been some controversy about
them trying to distribute adware with downloads:
http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1jk1gz/sourceforge_starts_using_enhanced_adware/
http://www.gluster.org/2013/08/how-far-the-once-mighty-sourceforge-has-fallen/

I have done more work on the web page to cut out fluff, and to cover all the composition elements.

There is also a beginning for the description of the user interfaces.

I lied unwittingly on the web page. I do have the source for the Windows program, but it was in a password protected zip file, and I'd forgotten the password.

While checking on it yesterday it suddenly occurred to me what I would have used, and so now I do have it.

But there's no way I'm going back to C++.

It's on github now - britseye/compo. I added a makefile, so you don't have to use CodeBlocks to build it.
