I think this question on Quora could do with some quality answers.

Why? I never read that site, and apparently few D people do. I realize it's somewhat popular, but it still doesn't have a real business model nine years in, and will probably just go belly up when they run out of investors' money (there's also a slight chance they get bought out by some dumb company like github and Tumblr, then fade into irrelevance like Flickr or Myspace).

I honestly don't think it matters if people don't waste their time adding free content about D to that site run by former Facebook people.

Why don't you write the quality answer you expect ? I see you're registered on quora: https://www.quora.com/profile/Russel-Winder-1. Content to rewrite is here : https://dlang.org/areas-of-d-usage.html.

It's called marketing. But if the D community do not want others to know about D, that is fine.

I can add a link to that certainly. But there is no point in rewriting stuff. The Web is supposed to be a hypertext system. Until the link tax gets enforced obviously.
