Thanks for you interest and welcome to the D community. Your
skills will be valuable here if are willing to volunteer them
to the D effort.
It would be my pleasure to work with the D community. I am a
member of the student club here in my university, called
FOSS@Amrita (https://amfoss.in/) which actually encourages
students to contribute to Open Source projects. I have been into
Open Source for a considerable amount of time.

While I'm not one of the people who will be judging the merits
of such a project, I believe there is a high preference for at
least the backend to be written in D. There has been some
progress with WebAssembly in D
(https://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected]), but it's highly experimental right now, so it might be best to write the frontend in the typical HTML/CSS/Javascript, or some framework built of those technologies like Angular, Vue, etc...
Sure, I will move on with these things for the frontend.

My recommendations for getting started:
* Learn D. Start here (http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/index.html),
then look here (https://wiki.dlang.org/Books) Ask questions on
the Learn forum, IRC, or even StackOverflow.
* Lean web programming in D. Start with

Thank you for the suggestions. I started learning D, btw. :D
If you have questions about the project, please ask away.
Specific questions are likely to get answers quickly; broad
questions less so.
The description of the project is intentionally left vague in
order to not constrain the participant's creativity. What
metrics do you think would be valuable to the D effort that you
feel confident you can succeed with in the time constraints of
the Autumn of Code event? After the event, it would be super
awesome if you could continue maintaining project and add to it.
Sure, it is a super cool project and I am really excited to be a
part of it.
If you have questions, ask away, but feel free to take the
general idea and run with it. Acceptance will likely be judged
based on the merits of your proposal; not the idea from which
it was formulated. Also, the ideas on the Wiki are just ideas
to plant a few seeds of creativity; you are also welcome use
your own unique idea as the basis of your proposal.

Sure. I will make sure that I will give my best in giving the
ideas and also work accordingly for implementing them too.
