Well, what I have in mind is a brief (really) overview of the xmonad's
internal working with reference (links) to the (quite good, I would
say) haddock documentation of the code: main (now xmonad), the event
handler, the X monad, and the layout type stuff.

About the last one, I don't know, maybe I'm just plainly wrong, but
after the LayoutClass change, with the 0.4 release, I had the feeling
that new modules contributions have decreased - we would need one of
those Don's graphs to verify this... I repeat, I may be wrong, but I
think that all the type class stuff could be difficult to grasp to the
coders who could be contributing code for xmonad.

I think that a brief introduction for them could be helpful too. What
do you think? Am I wrong with that?

That would be really great I think, and if I had the time I would have
started something like this. Please consider the possibility of
starting it on the wiki, I could be helping somehow.
