through the entire spec looking for that feature that they want. Just an 
idea.

Maybe we could start a wiki on D. We could move most of this discussions to
it, and make something more consistent. There's someone here with experience
in running a wiki?

I've never met a wiki I liked.  They're usually very disorganized 
and frustrating to use.  I think of them as a public "note to self".

I was once working with someone who came across a wiki for the first
time.  They asked me, "What is wiki?  Is it just a name for really
annoyingly organized webpage?"

Perhaps a regularly posted FAQ would be helpful?

I seem to recall encountering HTML FAQ tools that allow the public to add
and modify questions and responses, which might cut down on work for the
maintainer.

An alternative that might fit nicely is gforge, located at
http://gforge.org/. The feature request tracking might be particularly
helpful, as well as the bug database, project hosting and other features
we've come to know and love from sourceforge.

I usually browse Haskell ( http://haskell.org/wiki/wiki )and c2
 http://c2.com/cgi/wiki . Both seem pretty useful for learning and
discussing new things. Nice language ( http://nice.sourceforge.net ) also
offered a good wiki, but it seems down. I think it would be good for keeping
threads of discussion and showing possible code snippets for requested
features. We have several different template proposals buried in the 10k
posts and every other new person here writes another. For these things it
would be good.

I've run a few TWiki's. Even on sourceforge (which was a pain in the
ass, btw).

If you want an example of TWiki, check out http://empyrean.sf.net/ It's
very powerful and quite nifty.
