Oh, great! I've been waiting for this. It's annoying having xmonad 
classified as a C/C++ project (and sjanssen and I as C/C++ developers!)

    Ohloh Summary

        * Mostly written in C/C++
        * Extremely well-commented source code

So what we need is a) darcs support (so we don't have to convert repos
to git), and b) a haskell lexer. Then all the haskell projects can get 
analysed, linked to , etc, -- and made more visible to the general open
source world.
