Pick one of the items you find the most interesting, and work on it!

On a semi-related note, someone came on IRC today asking about the wc example in the D2 pages.  It's broken since it hasn't been updated since the pages were split.  I was going to fix the code, but the DDoc source of the website is, afaik, not available, so I just posted a patch instead.

Would it be possible to make the DDoc source for the D documentation available?  Maybe you could use it as a test-case for source control.

It's in phobos/docsrc.

I found http://www.dsource.org/projects/phobos/browser/trunk/docsrc/wc.dd (which I assume to be for the D 2.x Spec).

So where is the source for the D 1.x Spec? It might be helpful to have those files in the SVN, too.

What does "in phobos/docsrc" mean? Is that a partial URL or something that is in the download package. In either case, I don't seem to be able to find it. Can you be a lot more specific?

Thanks, both of you.  I'd completely forgotten phobos was in dsource's svn and even then I'd assumed that all publicly available source was included in the DMD zips.

Last time I checked, that was both, the version differences are handled with DDoc macros.

That's right.

Walter,

But then if you do, my experience is that nobody is interested. OK, perhaps I'm writing crap - I'm getting old and outdated, but you don't even get told that except by Superdan.

If someone has done as you suggest, what is the mechanism for moving it toward the D mainstream?

Where do you post it, who do you send it to, who is the judge, and where is the verdict posted?

D should try to avoid being like Iran!
