One underused resource seems to be all the examples bearophile 
has put on Rosetta Code:

http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:D

If he, Adam, or some other proficient D user were to do a weekly 
series breaking down each of those 733 examples one at a time- 
what idioms were used, why certain variations were more 
efficient- that could go a long way to introduce the language and 
its idioms to beginners.  It would provide enough examples for 14 
years of such a weekly series, by which time D3 will be getting 
started!
