Probably because I had to spend around half an hour to get to that page on my own. Me thinks Trello would take off iff it was used proactively, featured on dlang.org, had read/write access for most folks (say the ones with GitHub account) etc.

Would be great if it had some important locked notes and others would be public writable.

As it stands it's half-assed wiki for 3 persons that can do just fine without it.

The review of std.serialize (Orange) really shouldn't depend on the XML implementation it uses. I think that is just an implementation detail.

I believe Michael put it "Ready for comments" as he is interested in getting feedback to his work, not really ready for review. I don't see Michael around the forums here much/at all, but have contacted him via email on a number of occasions.

I don't believe the library is ready for review:

1. Documentation, very minimal and not on par with the standards displayed in Phobos

2. There are a number of ways to parse XML and the method I've been using has been getting heavily modified almost every time I bring up an issue/request clarification.

So I highly suggest those interested in a D XML parser to try it out and send feedback, or request that he pester more people to critique it.

I don't really know what I want (how it should fit into the D2 style). I pretty much just want to read some XML and be done with it (actually I don't really want to do that either). As I've been using this for some time I'm not in as much of a hurry as others to get it into Phobos.
