[Design Patterns] OSPDL/Design Pattern Working group question of the day

[Allison Bloodworth]

Hi folks,

Earlier this week I summarized the results of our first Open Source  
Design Pattern Library (OSDPL) pattern working group (http:// 
www.nabble.com/Open-Source-Design-Pattern-Group-meeting-today---next- 
meeting-Wednesday%2C-May-14th-tt17118098.html) and inadvertently gave  
a wrong date in the message body (though the subject was right) for  
the meeting. It should of course be:

Wednesday, May 14th from 10-11am PDT/1-2pm EDT.
* Please use the following conference call line:
Toll Free Dial In Number:
(866)606-4704
Int'l Access/Caller Paid Dial In Number:
(309)495-0761
ACCESS CODE:
7532134
* If possible, please also log onto Fluid's Breeze teleconference  
server (http://breeze.yorku.ca/fluidwork) during the meeting for  
shared meeting notes and chat functionality.

Hope to see many of you there! Now for the moment you've all been  
waiting for--the OSDPL question of the day!
---------------------------------
At http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Design+Patterns+Library 
+Proposal, our proposed goal reads:
"The primary goal of the design pattern library will be to introduce  
design patterns as a way to design usable, high-quality user  
interfaces in specific contexts ("a proven solution to a common  
problem in a specified context"). The library will have a practical  
focus, intended mostly as a tool for junior/new designers as well as  
developers. It will not focus on creating a complete pattern  
language, or describing patterns in a more academic sense."

Is this the best statement of our goal? Can we add to this and flesh  
it out more?

--------------------------

We invite all members of the design pattern working group (and other  
interested parties) to create a succinct response to this question  
and either respond to this email or post to: http:// 
wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/OSDPL+Discussion+Questions+and 
+Answers

Look for one more discussion question tomorrow (or if you are really  
anxious you can see that it's already on the Questions & Answers  
page!) to think about and discuss prior to our meeting on Wednesday.  
Thanks for your input!
