Daniel Lang, the previous owner of the GitHub dlang username, has graciously donated us the namespace:

http://forum.dlang.org/post/fmarvvsgthihozcilgkp@forum.dlang.org

For the sake of shorter URLs, less typing, and consistent branding, let's move!

Moving should be painless, and everything will redirect to the new location. We only have to make sure our GitHub API clients support HTTP redirects.

Any change to anything breaks something, but I'm generally in favour of this.

Awesome.

Using dlang instead of D-Programming-Language honestly looks a lot more... professional (not the right word, but close) and modern to me. From a branding perspective, I'd definitely like to see D-Programming-Language used less in favour of dlang when possible.

And admittedly, typing out git clone https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/{dmd,druntime,phobos} every time I set up a new install got annoying. :P
