[MonoDevelop] Code analysis soc project

[Lluis Sanchez Gual]

All the projects you propose look ok to me. I think the code analysis
project is the one that will benefit more users. AFAIR the new DOM is
close to be finished, so working on it should be ok. My only concern is
that the project may clash with the work mkrueger is doing, so you would
need to be in synch with him.
