What I love about open D is that when you bring the F# back up to G, you get DADGAD...Love alternate tunings in general.
Here's my Little Martha:

I started that thread in 2005. I have learnt a couple of open d songs in the last three and a half years: Echoing Gilewitz, Das Loch in der Banane and a couple of Kottke pieces.
Denis, tune the F# down half a step to F and you have open d minor tuning. You'll be able to play some really haunting stuff.
