Please change the Subject: title when you tangent or otherwise change the topic of a "thread". example: original subject: I'm falling wayyyy behind became a discussion on COM interfaces with D for those of us that visit once or twice a week this would help a lot I don't have time to read every message posted thanks in advance p.s. I use the web interface to read the messages

I'd also like to suggest that if you are posting a bug in the D implementation, to preface the subject with "bug:". This will help ensure I don't miss any of them.

I've asked for the same before, and I'll ask again. Glad that you agree. Walter? D - general stuff D.bugs - bugs D.library - maybe not needed yet, but it will be very soon. We need a Library group first, which I know is unpopular because it's all a bit too organised, not to mention an arena for violent disagreement, but it's going to have to happen sometime. Walter says he can't keep up with the NG now as it is, so how about the rest of us who are, in the main one would guess, busy with other careers and trying desperately to keep up with D as it rockets along. -- Matthew Wilson STLSoft moderator and C++ monomaniac mailto:matthew stlsoft.org http://www.stlsoft.org news://news.digitalmars.com/c++.stlsoft "You can tell a Yorkshireman, but you can't tell him much" -- Uncle Michael ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- "Riccardo De Agostini" <riccardo.de.agostini email.it> wrote in message news:bicsq7$gnn$8 digitaldaemon.com..."Walter" <walter digitalmars.com> ha scritto nel messaggio news:bi884g$2isc$1 digitaldaemon.com...ensureI agree.

Benji Smith <dlanguage xxagg.com> When the D repository website goes up (sometime this week, knock on wood), there will be discussion groups for various projects, including a "Phobos" discussion forum and a "D Template Library" discussion forum. Every project that gets hosted on the site will have its own threaded discussion forum. Hopefully, that will let us take some of these discussions out of the d newsgroup. I've been thinking for quite a while that discussion about dig (and other projects) is inappropriate for the general d newsgroup. As we've seen lately, Walter is having a tough time keeping up with all the postings here, and I think it will help considerably when we take our non-general postings elsewhere. --Benji Smith In article <bie7gd$2ilj$1 digitaldaemon.com>, Matthew Wilson says...I've asked for the same before, and I'll ask again.

It all depends (in unmoderated NGs, that is) upon common sense. From what I've seen so far, I trust people here to have enough to move a discussion to the appropriate NG as soon as it becomes off-topic. Granted, this will not work 100% of the times... but 95% won't be bad, and it's not unrealistic IMHO. Ric

There is "D.gnu" without traffic because questions related to Linux go here. Just as bug-related questions do.
