To me, having a page titled »Open Source Projects« seems somewhat strange, given that there is also a »Libraries and Frameworks« list. Maybe, we should split this page – put libs on the library page, and create a new page for tools? In any case, I think it doesn't make much sense to duplicate open source libraries here. --[[User:Klickverbot|Klickverbot]] ([[User talk:Klickverbot|talk]]) 18:15, 27 November 2012 (CET)

Vision for this page?

To me, having a page titled »Open Source Projects« seems somewhat strange, given that there is also a »Libraries and Frameworks« list. Maybe, we should split this page – put libs on the library page, and create a new page for tools? In any case, I think it doesn't make much sense to duplicate open source libraries here. --Klickverbot (talk) 18:15, 27 November 2012 (CET)

IMO it's important to think from perspective of user. If someone wants to look how D source code looks, want to learn something from others code - that's the tab open source projects. It includes *tools* and libraries. Maybe you want to look what people do in d and how they made it? It doesn't have to be a library to be worth for looking on it. Libraries and frameworks are separate thing, when you're looking for code that will do work for you - ideally, you shouldn't care about its internals. It might be opensource or not.
