Here is a sketch. Sorry couldn't make it more realistic -  I'm packing 
my stuff for tomorrow's flight (about 6 hours to go):
http://wiki.dlang.org/Groups

The fact that I couldn't remember a hell lot of people in each area of 
expertise/interest proves the point - it has to be driven by individuals 
and generated automatically.

Think of it as a "phone book". Or better a page "Who is who in D 
language" for dlang.org that lists key areas in D ecosystem and contacts 
of people working/interested in them.

The thing is I want this kind of page to be dynamic and self-organizable 
by very simple rules:

1. A D-guy has github account and an e-mail. (We may go beyond that e.g. 
IRC nickname, Skype etc. but let it grow organically)

2. Joins and leaves groups.

3. May be designated a leader, the "goto guy" in some group.

The list of who's where is constantly kept up to date from this 
information. The extras could be grown on top this as needed.

Nothing too fancy, probably could be hacked in an evening with Vibe.d 
(or say even PHP, who cares as long as it works).

Thing is that I for one lost all the steam trying to get at it early on. 
By the moment it was public I couldn't care less, to make things work 
unlike github there simply was no way to contribute for an outsider.
