The main goal of the project is to bring FlatBuffers D support 
into the upstream repository.

In contrast with Protocol Buffers version 2, both FlatBuffers and 
Protocol Buffers version 3 have support for a couple of 
programming languages and the adoption of new languages is 
continuing. It will be great if at the end of GSOC2016, D will be 
one of those languages.

I think that a good application should contain at least:

   - FlatBuffers or Protocol Buffers. Focus just on one of them, 
although Protocol Buffers will be a little too small of a project 
(use it to get warm).
   - identify the software components, eventually some design 
ideas.
   - testing of the implementation.
   - a rough time plan.
   - a couple of words about yourself, relevant experience, 
eventually reference your relevant work.

Start with a rough proposal and we can discuss on that.
