I have added the design pattern description format to the Haskell wiki:

http://haskell.org/wiki/wiki?DesignPatternsForFunctionalStrategicProgramming

Perhaps it would be interesting to see if some of the
CommonHaskellIdioms described on this wiki can be cast into the proposed
design pattern format as well.
