D-Conf generated a long discussion on FreeDesktop.org's XDG mailling list. Its objective is to standarize configuration across desktop frameworks like Gnome and KDE, so no focus is being devoted to global non-desktop system configurations.
It was very difficult to find the D-Conf website (not found in the end), and seems that all is available is that XDG discussion, and a wiki page containing analisys of what is required, and development directions. Nothing else.
Conclusion: D-Conf is vaporware.
