PatternShare

PatternShare is a new computer software design pattern web resource, hosted by Microsoft, at http://patternshare.org. (note - dead since at least June 2007).

The motive appears to be:

• Bring together pattern summaries from many authors.
• Provide a platform for discussion and further exploration of the interconnections between them.

Much of the work was led by Ward Cunningham, of Microsoft.

PatternShare is a wiki.

Interesting facts

• It is a Design Pattern metabase
• Several orthogonal dimensions of categories
• Automatic interlinking, through standard templates that embody its structural inferences
• Multiple contributing websites
