Does anyone think this is worth pursuing, or is it a little premature?
Perhaps waiting until ver 1 is released?

Just a thought!

What I was thinking of was a fully-fledged magazine, probably bi-monthly,
which had the following features:

A notes section (very small tips, one-liners) - 4-8 per issue
A tips section (400-800 words) - 3-5 per issue
An articles section (2000-4000 words) 2-3 per issue
A "Word from Walter" column
An FAQ column, whereby readers questions would be answered by the D experts
Two more columns that would alternate (at a rate as deemed by the separate
subject areas and the number of contributors) between a number of major D
subject areas. Areas would include Windows development, realtime, other
platforms, performance, etc.

To do this we would need the following resources

1 or 2 people to do the web-design & graphics & layout the articles
at least 3 (preferably 5 or 6) technical editors for reviewing & validating
submissions, as well as providing answers to the FAQ column
1 or 2 supervising editors, arbitrating between article ideas, checking
readability etc.
Walter
Someone to run the FAQ column (possibly including taking the most worthy
items from the news group in times of Q drought)

I guess once we have it up and running we _could_ get advertising and all
that evil nonsense if there was a need, but I would have thought with a few
committed volunteers we could manage quite nicely.

If there is enough interest I am sure we could make this into a valuable
resource, for the promulgation of D to the thirsty folks who are currently
starting to drink the sand ( === .NET :)

So, any interest? Please shout up if you think it's (i) a good idea, (ii) a
bad idea; (iii) you would like to volunteer for one of the roles. Also, if
you think there are other features and/or roles, please speak up.

I have pre-emptively registered djournal.net and thedjournal.com
(djournal.com is taken) in case we have interest. (I can cancel these in the
next 72 hours if everyone thinks it is a bad idea, but it's not, is it ...

It is a good idea, definitely. I wonder if I could help with anything?
FAQ & coding tips, probably.

By the way, one another thing that could be of interest to many people

We could have a "Moving over to D" column, in which we would through the
major languages, and contributors would be able to provide the transitional
tips and techniques from their own language. (Blimey that's not clear at
all, is it!)

As in

What I mean is that the  column would have

- Nov 2002, "Moving to D from Java"
- Nov 2002, "Moving to D from C++"

Well everybody, we've had the wink from Pavel and Big W, so I reckon it's a
goer.

Whilst I am pretty confident of my own capabilities in C/C++/Java, my
exposure to D is, at this point, much less than a lot of you guys, so I
don't think I could be an effective tech editor. However, I am more than
happy to be a supervising editor, and on this line I have some small
experience in editing and writing (masochists please visit
http://synesis.com.au/articles.html :).

We certainly need to staff out the other roles before we can think of
proceeding further. Walter, it would seem that you are more qualified than
most
(certainly me, at least) to know which news-group contributors are of a
"very-experienced" level (in so far as one can be, in such a new language),
so I wonder whether you could suggest people who could be the technical
editors. I am assuming Pavel Minayev would be one, along with the other
"experts" in the news-group.

As for all other roles, please let's have more volunteers. People who have
experience in writing would be useful, but it's not a prerequisite.

Let's wait and see a few days if we get volunteers (and more content
ideas?), before we have to get Walter to wield a coercive e-stick!

Hi.
I'd also like to volunteer, but I don't know what I could considering that I
don't really have lots of spare time (that's why I've stopped fooling around
with D).
I'm not good at web managing, but I have a website
(http://carlos3.netfirms.com). Besides, I don't know how good I could be
considering my english isn't so deep (spanish is my native language). I just
got an idea! Maybe, when the whole project is set up, you could ask us
(those who like D but have a different native language) to translate "The D
Journal" to other languages. Maybe.
I don't know how much I could help with the articles considering that I
often have more doubts than answers. If you want to know a little background
about me, then I know well QB, some VB (I've made some interesting stuff),
C/C++ (pretty much ok), Java (learning), Delphi (learning), Euphoria (not
much), D (wanna know more!).
Again, I want to help, but you should give me some advice according to the
information I've given.

I hate to push it, but nobody has paid attention. Has anybody thought about

Think about it: right now, D is limited to english speakers (or readers)

D in my university, but it seems like no one cares because over here people
don't talk english well, so they can't understand D specifications. But if
there was any D page or something as big as "The D Journal" (apparently) in
another language (spanish in this case), then more people would be
interested in D. Walter says D is gaining momentum? Believe me: momentum
will increase by doing that.
Maybe I'm not the right one to do the translation (at least alone), but I
would love to have something like that. And if I can help, I will. Oh, and
there's something else: I think I understand english well enough, but my
eyes hurt now after reading 90+ posts in english, tons of technical terms
(even if they're programming related), slangs, typos, idiomatic expressions,
etc. Consider that I'm used to it and think about people who: (i) don't
understand, (ii) aren't used to, (iii) are too lazy to read all that (D
specs, "D Journal", newsgroup...).
I'm to stubborn, so I ask you: give me one good reason for not doing that.
And "main goal: focusing in the articles" isn't a good reason.

No problem. After playing with it a little more

If you wanted to do a bulk translation of the D manual,

The easiest way I've found is reading an english paper and speaking in

The result is not so good, you need to revise it anyway, but it's the better
and quicker method I've found.
Once you're used to it, you need very little revision work.

 don't talk english well, so they can't understand D specifications. But if
 there was any D page or something as big as "The D Journal" (apparently) in
 another language (spanish in this case), then more people would be
 interested in D. Walter says D is gaining momentum? Believe me: momentum
 will increase by doing that.
 Maybe I'm not the right one to do the translation (at least alone), but I
 would love to have something like that. And if I can help, I will. Oh, and
 there's something else: I think I understand english well enough, but my
 eyes hurt now after reading 90+ posts in english, tons of technical terms
 (even if they're programming related), slangs, typos, idiomatic expressions,
 etc. Consider that I'm used to it and think about people who: (i) don't
 understand, (ii) aren't used to, (iii) are too lazy to read all that (D
 specs, "D Journal", newsgroup...).
 I'm to stubborn, so I ask you: give me one good reason for not doing that.
 And "main goal: focusing in the articles" isn't a good reason.

You're right. I've noticed that a lot in books. Good computers books are
originally written in english and a couple of years later translated in
Mexico. There're 2 problems by that:
1. They're often translated by people who don't know the subject. Besides,
there're some "localization" problems that don't fit here.
2. Two years are too much time!
About doing something, I had thought about. I'll try to make some time and
translate some of Walter's pages and put them in my site so they will become
available for more people (and will get more hits ;) ).

What comforts me is that you people have taken this well. Thanks.

My advice is don't make time to translate Walter's pages..  Just do one. 
   Find time and do one.  Start with the most important page.  Later, 
find time to do another maybe.

As for taking it well, I've been begging people to translate my project 
pages (http://jakarta.apache.org/poi).  I'm thinking it will be a kind 
of project for helping me with the spanish class I'm taking.  People 
will be more likely to step forward and tell me "damn, you're wrong it 
should say X" than "find time" to translate them all.  Most projects 
that seek some kind of wide acceptance would gladly welcome translations.

Anyhow, generally I think the problem on most project is:

1. Those who need the translations enough to "find time" aren't qualfied 
  (by definition) to perform them

2. Those who are qualified to translate them, are not motivated enough 
to do it.

There is a "middle way":  Get a cheesy translation done any way you can, then
get
a native user to polish off the rough edges.

I've done this for the docs for several small PalmOS apps and Linux PDA tools
from Japan.  The docs were initially in terrible "Japglish", but with the basic
documentation form already in place, and with the program in my hand, I was able
to quickly whip the docs into decent English.  And I do mean quickly:  About an
hour per page, on average.  It was fun to do, and the positive feedback kept my
ego stroked for months.

And I also got some serious Geek Cred for it.

I think it's great that y'all are willing to do translations. Keep in mind,
though that the docs change as I fix errors, rewrite turgid passages, and
make improvements. I've started putting date-last-modifieds at the top of
the pages, so that at least it's easy to tell which pages are out of date.
The html of the pages is pretty straightforward, so diff will be useful in
finding the exact changes. I don't use any of those wretched html editors.

just a suggestion.  Investigate using this:  www.krysalis.org/centipede

It would provide you with a convienient framework for writing the 
content in XML and seperating the style/html from the action content.
The output can statically generate in HTML.

I have a plan, that involves writing server scripts that read .rdf files to
generate each issue, and also having old issues in zip archives... I once
did something similar in my university days, all the pages were generated
dynamically from simple shell scripts...

When we know what kind of server the journal will be running on we can make
decisions about how content will be stored, I'm a great advocate of XML, I
use it all the time (I'm currently working on a DOM implementation in D),
so we'll see...

Keep the comments flowing...

It doesn't have to be in a box, it's just one line of css, but I think that
something should be done to make it absolutely clear what is code and what
isn't. Most magazines do something to highlight segments of code, no matter
how short, ant it does help readability, but then so does the syntax
highlighting...

I foresee that the journal will definitely be designed by committee...

I don't hand code HTML with content.  My mind doesn't work this way.  I 
either worry about the page lining up right or I worry about the

in XML, and rarely if ever write the XSLT because it's already been

I also think that Walter (or perhaps Jan) should set up a D wiki.

I don't necessarily have a say in who's web server is used for the journal,
if it is apache, then that'll be easy, else another solution would be
needed.

Anyway, writing apps for serving the journal is a good incentive for
implementing XML support in D (which I've already started).

That's the whole point, you still have to do it once, and for the journal,
that once is just coming up...


 Granted, I think working in plain text for the moment and 
 getting actual content is more important.


My goal for assembling the journal pages has three elements, the frame, the
content and the index. The frame is XSLT, the content is XML and the index
is RDF, there's some CSS in there too, but that isn't dynamic...

Each article has two major parts, the actual article, and an abstract. Each
issue is defined as a list of articles in an RDF file which is used to
assemble the abstracts into a front page for the issue (a dynamic sort of
meta-article) which is passed through the XSLT to generate the front
page...

There may also be lots of other RDF's flying around to allow semi-automatic
cross-referencing of articles, and better searching of the archives, but
that is way, way down the line...

I hope that all made sense and stuff...

That's going to start a war

I am not convinced we need a coding standard for the site, though.
Personally I go for the Allman style

    if(x)
    {
        y;
    }

mainly because it lends clarity when the conditional expression is complex.
However, I have learnt over the years - even in situtations where I've
written the coding standards! - that people will not be forced away from
their own style.

I would much prefer that we encourage contributions as much as possible, and
let the style evolve collaboratively. Also, it can be good mental exercise
to read in another style every now and then.

Yep, you are right. But who decides whether the code is readable or not?

No.. Flamewars on brackets have no conclusion and are never productive.
Readibility is subjective, but then again, one can comply with such 
guidelines to the letter and produce horrible unreadible code.  Whats 
the goal?  Push your bracketing standard on the world (hasn't worked for

1. Networking APIs in D
2. Threading in D
3. A simple Servlet engine in D (not to long ago this was done for C++

4. Using and/or wrapping a C API with D
5. A reprint or similar article to Walter's DDJ article.

What say you to including a Learning to Program "with D" section?
A section that nurtures curiosities about programming and more
specifically about learning to program "with D." This could help
those that are curious to grow alongside the language, and
eventually can spin off into something larger (say a book maybe?)
Would this be too tedious a task?

Good point.  I wouldn't do it.  So the question becomes.  I port the 
java servlet API over to D and launch cool website X under D and its 
fast and everyone loves it and its achieving widespread adoption of the 
language.  You're like "Wow can you write an article for the journal". 
I'm like "sure why not".  I write a wonderful inciteful article (like 
walter's in Doctor Dobbs that got me interested in D), and employ code 
samples from my servlet API.  You're like "Wow that's great!" Then you 
notice that I use

if (request != NULL) {
  // do something
}

instead of your standard of

if (request != NULL)
{

}

You ask me to change it.  I ask if its readible and understandable.  you 
say yes, but it doesn't conform to our somewhat arbitrary guidelines.  I 
  I don't have time or feel like it and gee you're not paying for it 
anyhow, how dare you enforce arbitrary pedantic rules on me (you have to 
pay to do that ;-) ).  You get letters from all sorts of folks saying 

and C++ and use it". . .  Do you publish the article or squelch it on 
your pedantic consideration?

So there you have why the subjective consideration of "is this source 
readible to the average joe with C, C++ or Java skills" .. if it is...

Which is exactly the point.  Its you're issue (in every sense of the

you like.  No need for a long flamewar on brackets unless you really 
enjoy that sort of thing (in which case, have fun, but after like 30 
years I'd think that particular flamewar would be old).

I wrote in all the highlighting by hand on this occasion, but I have also
rewritten a certain D sample program so that it emits code that is css-able
(uses spans instead of font tags). The colo(u)r values came from the

As far as code style goes, along as it compiles (if included as a part of a
full program) then that's OK, we could always have a section in the journal
dedicated to discussing (read "arguing" if you like) the merits of
different styles.

IMO, discussions about coding style amongst seasoned programmers are
pointless, as we'll never change now that when we press enter is a reflex
not a 
conscious decision. But on the other hand, a good debate is always good for

the newcomers.

Heh... I should have updated it looong ago. Yes, I've seen your HTML code.
By the way, source code formatter and HTML generator could in fact be
one single program. I should think about this...

I say leave submitter's code as it is (within the restrictions of
readability, printability) which is also a matter of respect. However there
is no reason why we cannot have a "style" column, for the edification of
newbies.

Have I just thought of another column ... ???

I just thought of a novel new solution to the problem with code formatting
in the journal...
We (which would probably mean me) could right a javascript code formatter
that loaded the individual's preferences from a cookie. Everyone is happy
because code only has to be written once, but will look just like every one
prefers...

I think it is possible, but not necessarily easy...

Write a JavaScript code formatter? This means both lexer and parser _very_
slow... we could then put "best viewed on Athlon 1GHz or higher" logo on
the site. =)

Maybe a server-side script could be better idea, but anyhow, does it worth
it? As long as the code is readable, I personally don't care much of whether
there are braces or not; thus, preformatting the code, making it more
readable, before putting it to the site, seems a better idea to me.

I've done a bit of thinking, and I think it is possible to format code in a
variety of styles based only on how many spaces/tabs/returns to place
before or after certain symbols ( "(", ")", "{", "}", "[", "]", ",", ";",
":" (perhaps a few more)) the only other thing you need to track is the
nesting level your at. It wouldn't be perfect (in some places it would be
decidedly messy) but it would be quick and consistent. It would of course
take for granted that the code was legal D...

I also think it is entirely possible to have dynamic formatting using css
alone with its handy "content" property...

Perhaps we could work towards a version of d2html that included all sugar
necessary to do this, it will probably triple the size of the code (program
and HTML) though...

I don't like the idea of having a server side style formatter, but I'm not
sure why, it is probably "separation of concerns" beginning to kick in at a
subconscious level...

I think that the best short term solution is, if it compiles and passes the
"readability test" of the editors then it goes in as it is. But this brings
us back to the "what is readability?" question...

 I'm still alive, so I attached a very simple mockup of what the journal
 might look like...


I think it looks great!

Some comments:

1) It should have it's own look and logo, not the Digital Mars one. I like
the one you put together.

2) Setting up the text so people will find it quickly searching via Google
means that the strings "D programming language" and "programming language D"
need to be worked into the text somehow, preferably inside a header tag.

3) It'll need a "site search" dialog box. The Atomz one works well and is
free.

4) It should be accessible for people who need html-to-speech synthesizers.
I don't remember all the rules for that, but the basic ones are:
    a) the html tag should specify the language, i.e. <html lang="en">
    b) all img tags should have alt text specifying what the image is.
    c) href links should have title sections giving a description of where
the link goes to. The effect of this under Explorer is to have little yellow
tooltips pop up over the links.
    d) all table tags should have a summary description.

5) the (4) rules also have the nice side effect of the web indexing robots
can do a better job indexing the material.

6) At least the home page should be constructed with an eye towards fast
downloads (under 5 seconds) for people with dialup accounts. I think your
mockup design is well within that goal.

7) Yes, Digital Mars web pages set a bad example and break every one of
those rules <g>.

Thanks!

The Sampler I posted was not representative of the HTML work I usually do,
it was a quick mock up with just the bare bones...

I didn't have this in mind as a specific goal, but I agree, there won't be
much on the front page, it will be visually similar to the sampler, but
with all the hidden bells and whistles...

 Site design sounds great (as does proof reading). Are you experienced in
 this? Do you have any sites we can take a look at? I would think we'd want
 to have a similar (though, of course, superior) site to the cmp sites
 (wdj.com, cuj.com, etc.) though without all the advertising clutter.


Accepting advertising might actually be a good idea, to defray some of the
costs with running the site. If the ads were of interest to D programmers,
and were not obnoxious flashing, pop over, pop under, etc., I think they'd
be fine. After all, I many times buy a computer mag just to read all the ads
to see what interesting new programming products are out there.

Whenever you're ready, you should get a business license for it. "ready" is
probably defined as when a suitable paying advertiser appears <g>. In any
case, keeping track of your expenses is a good idea. Once a couple of issues
exist, you can approach the paying advertisers in CUJ, etc., and see if they
want to participate.

Maybe someone has already mentioned these ideas already. I like what they
did is some of the VB (now VS) mags that had small tips and tricks spread
across the book. Of coarse there should also be some central place for T&T
some they can be easly found. Also (as most mags have) a Q&A section (but
that's what this newsgroups for). And how about, a best of newsgroup answers
section.

I'd like to contribute, but at the moment at least I don't have time.

My experiance is amateurish. I've been programming since I was 7 for about
14 years. I started using GW-BASIC, but progressed though to pascal, VB,
ADA, C, Java, C++. At the moment I'm a third year doing computer science.
But don't let that get you down, as I'm basicly just doing It to get the
degree and pick up some industrual standards (which arn't taught in books).
I'm in the top 5% of my uni.

 Walter

 What I was thinking of was a fully-fledged magazine, probably bi-monthly,
 which had the following features:

 A notes section (very small tips, one-liners) - 4-8 per issue
 A tips section (400-800 words) - 3-5 per issue
 An articles section (2000-4000 words) 2-3 per issue
 A "Word from Walter" column
 An FAQ column, whereby readers questions would be answered by the D


experts

 Two more columns that would alternate (at a rate as deemed by the separate
 subject areas and the number of contributors) between a number of major D
 subject areas. Areas would include Windows development, realtime, other
 platforms, performance, etc.

 To do this we would need the following resources

 1 or 2 people to do the web-design & graphics & layout the articles
 at least 3 (preferably 5 or 6) technical editors for reviewing &


validating

 submissions, as well as providing answers to the FAQ column
 1 or 2 supervising editors, arbitrating between article ideas, checking
 readability etc.
 Walter
 Someone to run the FAQ column (possibly including taking the most worthy
 items from the news group in times of Q drought)

 I guess once we have it up and running we _could_ get advertising and all
 that evil nonsense if there was a need, but I would have thought with a


few

 committed volunteers we could manage quite nicely.

 If there is enough interest I am sure we could make this into a valuable
 resource, for the promulgation of D to the thirsty folks who are currently
 starting to drink the sand ( === .NET :)

 So, any interest? Please shout up if you think it's (i) a good idea, (ii)


a

 bad idea; (iii) you would like to volunteer for one of the roles. Also, if
 you think there are other features and/or roles, please speak up.

 I have pre-emptively registered djournal.net and thedjournal.com
 (djournal.com is taken) in case we have interest. (I can cancel these in


the

 next 72 hours if everyone thinks it is a bad idea, but it's not, is it ...
 ??? ;)

I will also volunteer to write articles.  When I think of something interesting,

I will add it to my topics list.

I  volunteer as a tech-editor.  There are probably only two or three people 
in the Universe qualified as tech-editors for Bright D.  I prefer to have Walter

working on the compiler and language.  I am NOT an expert on Bright D.  
However, I know a lot of languages well enough to make really ugly mistakes 
in all of them, but I am willing to look at and evaluate whatever I get.
