Citing Sönke:

> The whole dub init -t feature is planned to be replaced by a more general approach, so it would be rather wasteful to invest more time than necessary in this. The new approach basically would simply look for a ":example" (or similar) sub package for the first dependency specified to dub init, uses that as the base for the newly created package, and would then just adjust the recipe according to the remaining init parameters.

Perhaps to automatically generate documentation for all packages on code.dlang.org and publish it there as well.

Yes that is what I meant, sorry for being vague. It’s been suggested before I think. It would be a lot more work than what you are suggesting and one does not have to exclude the other: a bot could clone the project repositories and generate documentation for each, without project owners needing to manage tokens.

I don't think it's good idea to centralize this.
First the existing tools are easy enough to use, though some articles are necessary to spread the knowledge.
Second it'd put more burden on very few people that are already maintaining an unproportionate part of the overall ecosystem.
Third ppl. might want to use different doc generators, styles, or host a project site.
Fourth you create new problems like CSRF when hostings docs on one domain, hence github pages have one subdomain per user.

We might want to add a configurable doc link to project settings on the registry, but the Readme is already a good or even better place.

I like this idea because:
1) it is more secure than allow to access Travis CI to my public repos
2) this can encourage writing documentation in those projects that not thinked about documentation

(3) Docs from proposed site can be easily wrapped into DevDocs/Zeal/Dash docs for comfort offline usage.
