Is there a single person who's the main maintainer of the D website..?


If not, I have some ideas on how to improve it. Not just ideas, I'd like to give a host at improving it myself, really.

Sorry that was a weird typo. I meant, I'd like to give a try at improving it myself.

AFAIK the website is maintained via git here [1].
If you want to improve something, you can create a PR / open an issue there.

Oh, I get that much. But I was wondering if there was a webmaster who approve disapproved changes to the site.


Anyway, I'll come up with something new soon and share it with W&A, I really think the website could use a better presentation.

Sorry, bad typos here. I meant a webmaster who approved /or/ disapproved changes to the website.

I don't think so, technically anyone with write access can toggle auto merge (IIRC), but if the changes are non-trivial there's likely going to be a discussion on the PR first

The primary contact for the website is Vladimir. -- Andrei

Can we gain the ability to edit our own post? I typically make some grammar/spelling mistacks here and there and it would be nice for me to fix this.

No, sorry. The lead team uses nttp which is old school forum technology. They won't move in to the present and instead insist everyone else stay in the past with them. It's sort of like those guys that drive 1970's camaro's because they think it makes them look cool. I'm sure it's a psychological condition but not much can be done about it.

Haha, did you make this mistack on purpose?

You can take my NNTP support from my cold dead hands. Why should I have to give this up?

Some old codgers even use crusty old mailing lists I've heard.

Note, NNTP supports deleting your posts, I've done it before (on this site). It would be nice if the forum software detected that as well (maybe it does?).
