Preapproved. Looking forward to the appropriate pull request. Rainer?

I think it's equally important to move DMD1 and DMC down the bottom into
small text links.
Last time I went looking for GDC I didn't see the link there because it was
off the screen, and I skipped past presuming that page was just for
walter's binaries since they dominated my screen.

Or link towards a D1 download page and DMC's download page.

I have created pull requests

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/pull/384 and https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/pull/385

the result can be seen here: http://rainers.github.io/visuald/download.html

Should we add links to Mono-D and DDT aswell?

Links are still to other sites, how do we get the installer and the Visual D pages uploaded to dlang.org?

Actually, check my thread "Debugging support for D - wiki". You might be able to help with research and trying out debuggers for configurations I can't (or simply haven't) tried myself.

I think so.

Walter, Brad, or I need to do the upload for now (we're working on improving the process). What you'd need to do is just create pull requests for the site and the installer. Once pulled, we'll build and upload.

Ok, will add these. Bruno and Alex, is it ok for you? What are the appropriate links? Are there any direct download links?

Do you mean that I should add the documentation to the dlang.org repository? It's currently part of the visuald repository, and it could also be referred to by the makefile in dlang.org, but that might mean that people building that will also have to clone the visuald repository.

Regarding the installer: Visual D should be built with a precise GC, but that's currently only possible with a patched compiler and runtime. I'll have to provide the binaries somehow, but I think git isn't appropriate to do so.

Perhaps this is something that Github Releases could be used for?

Thanks very much for leading this.

I preapprove any pages that refer exclusively to Visual D in the dlang.org repo. I trust you to design and write them within the site look and feel, and to organize them in directories appropriately.

Alternatively, if you prefer to distinguish Visual D's identity, feel free to keep your own site and pages for it. I'd personally prefer integration - we're small enough to thrive on integration.

Hmmm, where's that effort right now? The fact that we have a serious application needing precise GC is a good argument to make it the default, or at least an easy to choose option.
