digitalmars.D - Replace/Rename DWT forum with GUIs forum?

reply Gerald <gerald.b.nunn gmail.com> writes:
I would like to suggest that the existing DWT forum be renamed or 
replaced with a more generic GUIs forum. As far as I can tell, 
the DWT forum doesn't get much traffic these days and I don't 
believe any of the current GUI options for D are sufficiently 
popular to warrant their own specific forum.

While I primarily work with and have an interest in GtkD, I'm 
interested in posts with regards to all of the available GUI 
options (GtkD, DLangUI, etc) for D since I have general interest 
in desktop applications. I think grouping everything in one 
forum, similar to what is done for IDEs and Debuggers, would 
bring together posts and people that share a common interest.

+1. Someone once posted a thread about this some time ago. I think using "GUIs" is more useful and representative.

Indeed, now that there are few good quality gui libs, we must rename the forum to GUIs, DWT is too specific and I wonder how many people even know what DWT is.

Renaming is not an option. A new one is more simple.
