And what do you mean by an article on the D Programming Language? A general article on the language itself? An article related to D?

I recently started writing an article on ranges in D, since there have been requests for a good article/tutorial on ranges. Would that qualify? Or are you looking for something else?

On the language, or on using D, or on designing programs in D, etc. An article only mentioning D incidentally would not qualify. > I recently started writing an article on ranges in D, since there have been > requests for a good article/tutorial on ranges.

Very nice initiative. D needs more articles and publicity. Hopefully many people will write articles even if they are know they are not able to compete for the grand prize - an article written by me cannot compete with Andrei or Bartosz :) > 2. Digital Mars may submit the article on your behalf to publishers like DDJ and Artima.com Where would the articles that's not quite up to that quality standard go? codeproject.com? digitalmars.com? d-programming-language.org?

Suggestions for where particular articles should go would be welcome.
