General talk about software patterns

[Christian Crumlish <xian AT yahoo-inc.com>]

Here's what I've got in the UI (aka HCI, aka interaction design, aka UX) space (from http://www.designingsocialinterfaces.com/patterns.wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page#Pattern_Sites):

• Yahoo! Design Pattern Library
• Common Ground (Jenifer Tidwell's original library)
• Patterns in Interaction Design (Martijn van Welie)
• Designing Interfaces: Patterns for Effective Interaction Design (Jenifer Tidwell's book)
• User Interface Design Patterns (Sari Laakso)
• Hypermedia Design Pattern Repository
• The Brighton Usability Pattern Collection
• Open Design Patterns
• Ajax Patterns
• Visible Area patterns repository
• Little Springs Mobile User Interface Design Patterns
• Social Network Anti-patterns (at microformats.org)
• Search Patterns
• Open Source Pattern Library (Fluid Project)
• Information Design Patterns
• UI-Patterns.com
• UI Pattern Factory
• Designing Web Interfaces (Bill Scott and Theresa Neil's book)
• Quince UX Patterns Explorer (requires Silverlight)
• Moderation Strategies (vandalized, from Wayback machine)
• Web Patterns: A UC Berkeley Resource for Building User Interfaces (neglected)

Not strictly patterns, even by the weaker standards of the UI community (but somewhat related):

• Konigi: knowledge management for web designers
• Pattern Tap
• Design Patterns (factoryjoe's Flickr collection)
• Antipatterns article at UX Matters
• Pattern Writing Checklist
• Bill Scott (former Pattern Curator - writes patterns and anti-patterns)
• YUI Blog (many entries about Yahoo! patterns)
• Apple's Human Interface Guidelines
• Windows Vista UX guidelines

Hello all,

Every so often we see a mail or two about pattern repositories.  These are either places that collect pointers to patterns across the web and printed page or places that collect pattlets or abstracts.

Many of these are student research projects, and don't last past the graduation of the student.  Some repositories are focused on certain communities (like www.welie.com), and others were all-encompassing (like the Pattern Almanac by Linda Rising).

What repositories, narrow or broadly focused, do you know about that are still in existence?  Are they still being maintained and enhanced?

Thanks in advance,
Bob
