I want to share how I made testing for some open source project.

I try with http://travis-ci.org and http://drone.io

**For drone.io:**

* Add project
* Choose C/C++ as language
* Add build command which will install D compiler and run tests.

Command:

```
sudo wget 
http://netcologne.dl.sourceforge.net/project/d-apt/files/d-apt.list 
-O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/d-apt.list

sudo apt-get update -qq
sudo apt-get -y --allow-unauthenticated install --reinstall 
d-apt-keyring
sudo apt-get update -qq

sudo apt-get install dmd-bin dub

MYSQL_USER="root" MYSQL_PASSWORD="" dub test
```

**For travis ci:**

Create file .travis.yml

```
language: c

compiler:
   - gcc

before_install:
   - sudo wget 
http://netcologne.dl.sourceforge.net/project/d-apt/files/d-apt.list 
-O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/d-apt.list
   - sudo apt-get update -qq
   - sudo apt-get -y --allow-unauthenticated install --reinstall 
d-apt-keyring
   - sudo apt-get update -qq
   - sudo apt-get install dmd-bin dub

env:
   - MYSQL_USER="root" MYSQL_PASSWORD=""

script: dub test
```


Here is project I tested https://github.com/Paxa/mysql.d

The forum is actually an interface to a newsgroup, so most forms 
of markdown would not be supported in the interest of having a 
consistent UI for people who use mail / newsgroup clients vs 
people who use the online web interface.

Sigh, this always struck me as a problem with the current 
multi-mode setup, hobbling the forum to the lowest-common 
denominator capabilities of the older newsgroup/mail readers. 
Markdown is meant to be readable as a markup language, so maybe 
it can be supported by the DFeed forum alone:

http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax

If another, more capable but less readable markup is wanted, 
another possibility I just thought of is to only accept markup 
from the web interface and then to have DFeed convert the markup 
into something readable in plain text when sending to the 
newgroup/mailing list, ie DFeed keeps its own slightly different 
version of any particular post.

If Pavel or whoever puts in markdown support in DFeed, which is 
perfectly readable on its own, or does some sort of conversion of 
markup for the newsgroup/mail, are there any objections to 
sending straight markdown or this conversion workaround?

As a fan of Markdown, I'd advise against using it for the forums. 
Many important posters use email instead.

Yes, but if used cautiously, [markdown][1] will not hinder the 
*readability* as a **plain text**.

especially when there are code blocks:

```d
void main()
{
    writeln("Please colorize me with Javascript if this message is 
sent to web interface.");
}
```

Well, we can serve html in newsgroup/emails, or as plain text 
with striped markdown's markup

For example user writes "hello, **people**", on online interface 
its "hello, <strong>people</strong>", in plain text format (for 
people who dislike html) it's: "hello, people". I don'y think we 
should give markdown as plain text, or we should limit features, 
for example only titles, code blocks, horisontal line, links.

Everything is still same, but code snippets and links looks nice 
on web ui.

How you think?

I suggest you put together a minimal pull request for DFeed 
(https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed), maybe a patch that just 
handles one or two markup tokens, then open another forum thread 
here asking if there are any objections, as many people likely 
won't see this thread because of the unrelated title.  If that's 
too much effort, at least open another thread without the pull 
request.

I don't think there's anything wrong with sending markdown as 
plain text to the newsgroup and email lists, as it's meant to be 
readable.

I see no problem with markdown in this context - it is 
specifically designed to be very readable as raw source.
