Rikki wants to do D web development (see this thread), and his
project is using Vibe D.  Perhaps you can check it out.  Do you
think you might be interested in serving as the backup mentor for
that one?

As for the web page, that would possibly be a tough sell to Google
if they consider it more of a 'documentation' project than a
'coding' project, since they explicitly state that documentation
projects are not allowed (I was considering suggesting a Phobos
documentation project submission, so did a bit of research on 
that).

However, there has been some talk of improvements to DDOC around 
here,
maybe something could be cooked up there ... we still have a bit
more than a month to get projects lined up.
