the issue of an official blog for the D Language came up. I 
believe this would be a good idea. There is currently plenty of 
content:

- TWID is (hopefully) a weekly publication. It could be announced 
on the blog along with a short summary and a link.
- Announce is pretty busy. A lot of those announcements would be 
more appropriate for a blog.
- A while back, a page for D jobs was added to the wiki, but I 
don't think many people knew about it because they hadn't read 
that particular post in the forum.
- The topic that started the linked thread is information that 
should not be buried in the forum.

We would need two things: approval from Walter and Andrei, and 
someone that knows how to run a blog.

Years ago I used my D blog for posting all of the goings on in 
the D world: reposting announcements, job openings, things I 
noticed in other forums, interviews, and so on and was thinking 
about getting that going again until Adam kicked off TWID to fill 
that gap. I'll happily throw my name in the hat to manage an 
official D blog.

I can't do anything in that direction until "Learning D" is 
behind me and I've had a chance to take a short vacation. I also 
would like to see what Andrei has planned for the D Foundation, 
as I assume something like an official blog would fit in with its 
mission. I was planning to bring this up at the end of the year.
