digitalmars.D.announce - Gtkd2 in serious use

A couple of months ago I was handing out congratulations to Mike 
Wey on his splendid work in creating gtkd2.

I have had a good go at it since, and with a couple of small 
glitches along the way, it has been as close to flawless as I can 
imagine.

Anyway, I have got a long way down the road I've been following, 
but I'm getting close to the point where I need some help.

There's a very quick description of what I'm doing at 
http://britseyeview.com/compo/ - even that is not finished yet. 
But anyway, if anyone in the D community is interested, I could 
use some help with:

1) QA - on Debian based systems - I need people to break it.
2) Building on a recent version of Windows.
3) Advice on which repository to use for the source code.

Thanks
Steve

I wouldn't trust sourceforge, there's been some controversy about
them trying to distribute adware with downloads:

I have done more work on the web page to cut out fluff, and to 
cover all the composition elements.

There is also a beginning for the description of the user 
interfaces.

I lied unwittingly on the web page. I do have the source for the 
Windows program, but it was in a password protected zip file, and 
I'd forgotten the password.

While checking on it yesterday it suddenly occurred to me what I 
would have used, and so now I do have it.

But there's no way I'm going back to C++.

It's on github now - britseye/compo. I added a makefile, so you 
don't have to use CodeBlocks to build it.
