Groupware Patterns Wiki #

SebPaquet points to the Groupware Patterns Wiki. (7B)

I had lunch with RichardGabriel, one of our advisors, on Monday. Richard is one of the foremost interpreters of the PatternLanguage concept, and is president of the Hillside Group, which organizes the Pattern Language of Programs (PLoP) workshops. One of the things we discussed was how the theory underlying pattern languages requires many different communities exploring patterns together. Most existing patterns work seems to happen in relative isolation. To some extent, Hillside fosters intercommunity exploration of patterns, but it wants to increase its activity in this area. (7C)

So does BlueOxenAssociates. If the pattern work we do is to be effective, it cannot be done in isolation. (7D)
