I have (finally) written an article about how D helped to solve a 
practical programming problem. Nothing special, it focuses on the 
solution more than on language design / philosophy or 
benchmarking, the usual suspects. I would like to send it to 
Walter for comments, if you are interested, Walter. You can 
contact me at the email address that is displayed here. Thanks.

Any reason we can't all comment on it? :-)

Ah no, no reason, except that Walter might want to put it 
somewhere on the D homepage, if it is interestig enough. It's for 
the whole community and those who are interested in D. And I 
don't know where to put it online. Any advice?

Well, the usual approach is to put it on a blog. There's a number 
of free services for that:

http://wordpress.com/
https://www.tumblr.com/

..and if "D" tag is used, it will soon become plugged into Planet 
D (http://planet.dsource.org/)

Though if you are not interested in any continuous writing, using 
wiki.dlang.org for a single article may be a better approach.

My blog <http://braingam.es/> doesn't show up there, despite my 
D-related articles being tagged.

Then again I never asked anyone to add me (actually I don't know 
who to ask) :-P

It does now!

...or it would, if the DSource server would actually accept the 
files my server tried to upload. It's temperamental like that 
(Brad is aware of the problem). Meanwhile you can preview it at 
my local cache on http://planetd.thecybershadow.net/ .

It seems the tendency of D bloggers to write long articles has 
some disadvantages. I never got that far down!

What about on wiki.dlang.org? We already have a few articles hosted
there.

Well, you could post it here-- we're not strangers to enormous 
walls of text. ;)  Where it goes from there is a community 
effort.  Or if you think there are irreconcilable formatting 
needs, maybe make a wik page on http://wiki.dlang.org and link it 
here?

gamedev.net is looking for new articles on D. The guy in charge 
of that section of the site posted here a few weeks back 
soliciting for some. And the articles need not be game 
development related. I've got one published there, with another 
in the queue. Even if it does go to the D Wiki, can't hurt to 
have it there. Lots of eyes that wouldn't otherwise see it.

This is a wonderful idea. Let's have the article reviewed by the 
community and then posted to gamedev.net.

All right, I agree, it's for everyone. So will I put it on Wiki. 
(I'll have to look into the whole thing (formatting, creating an 
account etc) cos I ain't never done that kind of thing, believe 
it or not!

You can reach me at my first name followed by digitalmars.com, though I would 
take the others up on their kind offers to review by posting it here!
