Hi Alfredo,
As part of this community effort, I would like to find a Wiki, a forum, a ML or an IRC channel when we can talk about the future of XMonad.
We have all of these except a forum: wiki: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad ML: you're on it, xmonad@haskell.org IRC channel: #xmonad on Freenode
As first step, I would like to enhance the XMonad website, with something more "cool" and more 2.0-style.
Perhaps fork the current website and make a proposal by submitting a pull request. The repository is here: http://github.com/davidlazar/xmonad.org I'm not sure I agree that the current website is particularly defective, though.
I would like to discuss an architecture that can modularize XMonad at the point we have a lean, platform-independent microkernel (see the "Microkernel" architectural pattern) and then a whole family of platform dependent product (OSX, Linux, etc).
This is already how xmonad is structured. The xmonad library provides
a StackSet which is completely divorced from X, and a thin wrapper
that connects X and a StackSet. If you want to see platform-dependent
products, feel free to build them on top of xmonad and let us know!

Quoting Alfredo Di Napoli
Hi guys,
after a conversation with the current maintainer (Adam) and some guys at the Copenhagen Uni I'm trying to convey XMonad efforts in a single point. Therefore, I've created this organization on Github:
Please share your thoughts in the README repo, fire an issue maybe. The plan is to integrate XMonad with the latest patches, together with other related product like osxmonad.
Cheers, Alfredo
