Hello,

I've recently decided to pick up D, and have started doing some 
exercises on
https://exercism.io/ (a non-profit programming exercise 
platform), which I think is an excellent way to pick up the 
basics in a new language.

While doing the exercises on my own is rewarding already, I would 
greatly appreciate if someone would want to pick up the mantle of 
mentor in D over there. Evidently someone liked the idea at one 
point enough to contribute D versions of a lot of the exercises, 
but based on progress of the queue, nobody is checking it 
frequently at the moment.

I've been doing some mentoring there myself, for Python and Bash, 
and I think it's quite fun, and I learn a lot that way. It forces 
me to regularly think hard about the basics, trying to give 
considered advice to beginners.

Anyway, if someone would be willing to give it a go, you can go 
to https://exercism.io/become-a-mentor and follow the 
instructions there.

Thanks,
Björn

This is a great idea. I didn't know about https://exercism.io/
I've got a lot on my plate in the following weeks, but I'll try to
make some time to mentor.

I hope others in the community will join as well.

Cheers,
Edi
