Maybe the community (20 or so ppl) to write some quick tutorials 
on common tasks like socket programming, file system stuff, 
memory, etc... and we just combine them in a common format on the 
D site (wiki maybe) and refer learners to that.   Alot of ground 
could be covered if we just organize that and get it done.  We 
really would need to create a section and decide on what topics 
to cover and get on it.
