Is there any task or project to work on for good-novice programmers? The projects seem complicated to work on, for an average programmer. I have plenty of time but too little skills.

ThomasAh! Perhaps I was being unclear about my intentions, I appologize for this. I am not seeking to scatter resources even more, rather, I would like to create and "umbrella project" which contains resources for anyone wishing to contribute to the development of D. As it is now, the projects are scattered over many different websites, having no central communication method or documentation. Even finding the different projects can be hard. And the threshold for entering into any of them is a bit too steep for beginners, and even if there is stuff for them to do, they really cannot find out what that is. (Well, this is what I experience anyways) And those are excellent links you have got there! I didn't even know of the dstress page. Mind if I nab'em? :) -Nod-
