Would love to see Darcs support, especially once darcs2 is stabilized.

Yes, please! I would love to see Darcs support, too. The current version of darcs is good enough -- don't wait for darcs2 to come out.

I've uploaded a number of darcs projects using either darcs2git (fast, but only works on less complex repos), and darcs-to-git (much slower, but works on large things). Perhaps some kind of gateway along those lines could be used?

Me too. And dons, could you mirror jhc too, or are you just mirroring your own projects?

As you might imagine, I'd also be interested in seeing darcs support in ohloh. And I'd also be willing to work at least a bit to help enable that support. I don't see any reason why darcs support should be challenging.

There are hundreds of Haskell projects using darcs, it's not really sustainable to keep using darcs2git etc. Hopefully in the next round of ohloh open source releases we can get access to the SCM code and contribute darcs support.

Is there anything the Haskell community can do to hasten the adoption of darcs?

Yes, please, pretty please support darcs!

Hey, this would still be great!

+1, darcs is the feelgood vcs ;)

As others have noted, the lack of Darcs support is almost completely disenfranchising the entire Haskell open source community. This is a bigger deal than e.g. Mercurial IMHO, since a whole segment of the open source contributor community is being left out wholesale. Further, as others have pointed out, a cheap mechanism for implementing Ohloh Darcs support already exists: use an existing Darcs → Git converter on the Ohloh side.

I strongly urge adding this support.

I remain willing to spend a little bit of time helping out with this. Someone mentioned darcs-2 earlier in this thread, and darcs-2 is now out (and very cool), but actually darcs-1 is already perfectly serviceable for this purpose.

+1 for the darcs support (and I could help a bit too)

+1. It's insane that after four years Ohloh still only supports CVS, SVN, and Git.

Since several people, including the estimable David Roundy himself, have offered some of their valuable time to make this happen, it would seem like all the ohloh folks need to do is give them the access and information that the need, right? Is there anything else we darcs-lovers can do move this forward?

I thought I might swing back by to see if ohloh had gotten darcs support yet... but no dice!

It's still a desired feature! :)
