I've tried to create an account on dsource.org without success, 
and am wondering if anyone here knows if they are no longer 
accepting new users or whatnot?

I've added a new winhttp.d source file for the win32 folder and 
would like to somehow contribute it.

thanks!

dsource is no longer actively maintained. I don't think anyone knows how 
to contact the admin. Most D projects these days are done on github.

Which project are you looking at?

Bindings for the Windows API:

http://www.dsource.org/projects/bindings/wiki/WindowsApi

This is a pretty important project, especially for getting more 
Windows programmers on board..

thanks for your help

Looks like they are still using dsource for that project, latest update 
is 9/7/14.

It does have a github mirror though: 
https://github.com/CS-svnmirror/dsource-bindings

You may be able to at least post a pull request there, and maybe get the 
thing included. The two most recent contributors are regulars here, they 
may be able to get your code considered.

It also looks like the github link is pretty recent (8/16/14), perhaps a 
move to github is forthcoming?

I've contacted Brad on a few occasions.

I have commit access to that SVN repository. If someone wants 
something changed, I could commit it there for them.

This mirror is a fully automatic clone of the SVN repository's 
history. It cannot accept pull requests, because the next 
synchronization will only overwrite them. (I could commit the 
changes into SVN, though.)

Although we could move the repository to GitHub proper to allow 
people to contribute changes more easily, the long-term solution 
is to include the headers in Druntime.

I just noticed 
https://github.com/CS-svnmirror/dsource-bindings/pull/1, I'll 
have a look.

Vladimir, thanks for looking at the pull request. It'd be great 
if the whole project was moved to GitHub to allow more people to 
contribute.
