I've tried to create an account on dsource.org without success, and am wondering if anyone here knows if they are no longer accepting new users or whatnot?

I've added a new winhttp.d source file for the win32 folder and would like to somehow contribute it.

thanks!

dsource is no longer actively maintained. I don't think anyone knows how to contact the admin. Most D projects these days are done on github.

Which project are you looking at?

Bindings for the Windows API:

http://www.dsource.org/projects/bindings/wiki/WindowsApi

This is a pretty important project, especially for getting more Windows programmers on board..

thanks for your help

Looks like they are still using dsource for that project, latest update is 9/7/14.

It does have a github mirror though: https://github.com/CS-svnmirror/dsource-bindings

You may be able to at least post a pull request there, and maybe get the thing included. The two most recent contributors are regulars here, they may be able to get your code considered.

It also looks like the github link is pretty recent (8/16/14), perhaps a move to github is forthcoming?

I've contacted Brad on a few occasions.

I have commit access to that SVN repository. If someone wants something changed, I could commit it there for them.

This mirror is a fully automatic clone of the SVN repository's history. It cannot accept pull requests, because the next synchronization will only overwrite them. (I could commit the changes into SVN, though.)

Although we could move the repository to GitHub proper to allow people to contribute changes more easily, the long-term solution is to include the headers in Druntime.

I just noticed https://github.com/CS-svnmirror/dsource-bindings/pull/1, I'll have a look.

Vladimir, thanks for looking at the pull request. It'd be great if the whole project was moved to GitHub to allow more people to contribute.
