Anyone like to do a quick proofread of the next edition of This Week in D? http://arsdnet.net/this-week-in-d/jan-18.html Do NOT post this publically yet - it is just a draft, I want to do the broad public release/announcement either later tonight or first thing tomorrow morning. Refresh it btw to get new CSS, I made a minor change on the link color, see if you like the plain better. Also btw this is static content served with pre-gzip. We should use that technique on the D site too!

I don't see any need for a whole load of colourful background and heavy styling etc. any more than I would on the page of a book. The only thing I'd change would be to widen the margins of the white content section as the text is a little cramped up to the edges.

Very nice work as the previous edition! Some corrections, though: * The number of merged PRs is incorrect, because it includes PRs that have been merged before this week and only have new comments on them. E.g.: [1] * You may want to rename the second links in the Statistics section to 31 issuses added / opened (because it includes enhancement request as well as bugs). [1]: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1893 Keep up the good work :) On Monday, 19 January 2015 at 01:42:58 UTC, Adam D.

Ok I'm afraid to ask this and sound like annoying person, but according to my sign: "their 'attention to detail' is for a reason: to help others". So: Would be strange with get rid of ":" in this text: "This Week in D: " ? Because everytime that I look to it, this D: look like a sad face. :] Matheus.
