Hi Ryan,
I have been using a later version of PLML for my own collection
of patterns. Just click on the PLML button next to any pattern and you can see what
it looks like. For example:
http://www.welie.com/patterns/tag-cloud.xml
It is not PLML 1.0 but more like PLML 2.0 although that has
never been defined anywhere….;-)
Some time ago there was a discussion on this mailinglist on this
topic and there seemed to be a lot of common interest in standardizing on one
standard. There differences in the technical formats seemed to be small.
However, I guess none of us really had the time to develop the standard any
further.
Let me know if you want to know more detailed information.
Cheers,
Martijn van Welie

Subject: [ydn-patterns] Pattern Libraries: standardizing and sharing
Hello group!
I'm working with a group to build yet another pattern library and want
to make sure that it's aligned to add to the existing set of
libraries, rather than duplicate.
I've been ramping up on the recent history of UI/Web PL's and found a
slide in one of Christian's presentations that briefly touched upon
formats for sharing patterns - PLMLx and a possible Microformat.
My initial exploration of PLMLx 1.0 seems to suggest it hasn't been
worked on in 3+ years. I know a few libraries are using PLML which
suggests its the prime (if only) candidate for a sharing format, but
surely there must be some criticism and room for improvement :P
Anyhow, I'm interested in any sort of information about initiatives to
combine efforts and would love to hear from anyone about other issues
besides technology that are being discussed.
Cheers.
-Ryan
