Hello!

Myself, Venu. I am in the second year of my Computer Science and 
Engineering at Amrita School of Engineering, Kerala, India. I 
heard about SAoC and had a look at the projects list and one 
thing got my attention was this one, 
https://wiki.dlang.org/SAOC_2018_ideas#Automate_the_collection_and_publishing_of_data_for_monitoring_D.27s_progress_as_a_software_development_project.

The main crux of this project lies in scraping the data using the 
required API's and generating a web app, which can actually show 
a clear graph of what all things are happening to everyone. The 
graph thing can be done using some libraries in python. The web 
app can also be made using Python and Django.

I am very much comfortable with C++ and Python. I have been into 
Web Development and worked on few projects. Now I am actually 
learning data science as I am quite interested in the field. I 
want to apply for this project as it covers both of my interests, 
Web Development and Data Science.

But, I saw in the https://dlang.org/areas-of-d-usage.html, that 
web applications and data science can also be done with D. I 
would like to try out new things and I am very much excited to 
participate in this programme.

Great to hear that you are interested in helping out! Yes, vibe.d is a popular web framework in D. I recommend you try it out as projects who plan to mainly use D mainly will for obvious reasons be preferred.

I thought of implementing the project first using python and get familiar with D later and then completely shift to D. I am thinking of getting this project into existence first and later on develop it. Any Suggestions for my view?
