Hello,
At the Polytechnic University of Bucharest we are organizing a
special program called CDL[1], where Bachelor students are
mentored to make their first open source contributions.
I think it's a great idea to involve D in this program, but for
this to be successful, I need your help in finding ideas for
Bachelor level projects, which can be solved until the end of
May (anything from new features to more impactful bugs).
If there is anything on your wish list which matches the
criteria above, feel free to share.
Thanks,

There's now also a bunch of projects at Phobos that can be used
for onboarding:
https://github.com/dlang/phobos/projects
Bugzilla is also full of real goodies (from beginner bugs to new
features).
There's still the bootcamp tag.
Something that currently is vastly under-explored is DMD as a
library.
A simple project could be to use it generate C header files or a
more advanced version would be to use it to implement/kick-off a
tooling project.
Last, but not least, there's
https://wiki.dlang.org/GSOC_2018_Ideas, but that's probably a bit
too big for their first contribution.
Also the State of D survey has a few responses:
