wouldn't it be best for everyone to add an archive section to the projects
page and move there all discontinued projects?
it may not sound such a big issue but it was one of the things that made me

There's been a lot of work done on a new-and-improved dsoruce, and it got to

I agree. Unfortunately, the site's maintainer, Brad Anderson, doesn't appear 
to be active with D anymore :(

"There are lot's of discontinued projects listed on that site. Something  
must be done!"
- "Sure, but the web site is discontinued."

No offense, it is satire. :)

maybe someone knows the site-owner and can ask him to give ownership to
someone else(preferably still active )?

I'm always ready to do some cleaning up.
