down (figuratively; I've been on a hike today) and thought - what is 
dynamic about D?

So it hit me like a hammer:

* Forum discussions (this!)

* github traffic

* bugzilla traffic

* more recently, Adam's weekly newsletter.

We already have twitter which is nice. Adding some of the above to the 
homepage would be awesome. What do you all think?

Yes, it could be nice, but you do you have in mind? Put for 
example the last 10 posts of the forum on the main page?

Something like that. Or maybe the last 10 topics because it's easy the 
last 10 posts are on the same (inane) topic. Brainstorming mode!! -- Andrei

Absolutely. Don't let anything note worthy go unmissed. Let D 
developers know that D is constantly changing things around the 
world and not just the forums.

Add content from other websites, articles, etc.

Just let people know that D isn't dead. And that the front of the 
page proves it.

Great idea. In my opinion, priority should be given to answering 
the question "what are people doing with D?" Announcements of the 
latest additions and updates for Dub, plus links to posts like 
house hunting with D, all make a good impression.

 * Forum discussions (this!)

won't it be better to feature only D.announce? this way there will be a
constant flow of new/updated project, but site will not be burden by
(sometimes very hot) discussions. i don't think that people who are
visiting the site cares about discussions much, but i'm pretty sure
that they want to see info on new projects.
