Yeah, why don't we merge GDC docs onto the "official" wiki.dlang.org
wiki? It will make info on GDC easier to find.

All you need to do is to signup for an account and you have full edit
rights.

Hang on, I'm confused.  I thought the plan was to move to Ddoc hosted on GitHub?


 http://wiki.gdcproject.org


gdcproject.org/wiki is still active and linked to from the gdcproject.org home
page.

Oh, and -- might be worth tweaking the MediaWiki settings so you don't get the
index.php as part of the URL for the new wiki.

I still don't know what the plans are... I just don't have time to set
anything in stone at the moment.

I think migrating to wiki.dlang.org like ldc did is a good idea. It
might bring some new contributors to the gdc wiki.

Well, FWIW I think a wiki is a better option, it's just much easier to edit than
Ddoc.

I moved the main page contents to
http://wiki.dlang.org/GDC

So should we use wiki.dlang.org as our main wiki?

I think that's a good idea. Consolidating everything in the main wiki
will make information easier for newbies to find, and will keep
everything in one place for reference. I vote for it.

No it doesn't, stop lying.  (Where's my sartalic formatting when I need it)

As per documentation:

The D language is under development as of this writing; see {current
language reference}.  At present the current major version of D is
2.0, and
there is no way to describe the language supported by GCC in terms of
a specific minor version.  In general GCC follows the D front-end
releases closely, and any given GCC release will support the current
language as of the date that the release was frozen.

So the 4.7, 4.8 branches present on github are considered releases,
but no binary distribution is done other than through eg: Linux
distributor repositories.

I think what he means is: why are there no easily downloadable .tar.gz files
where all you have to do is ./configure && make && make install ?

Or, better still, 1-click installers for different major platforms as we have
with DMD.

I know this is one of those "needs someone to step up to the plate" situations,
but I think it's true that this would be helpful for potential users of GDC.

Feel free, I'll take down the wiki then once it has all been moved across.
