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

1. Differentiate visually at all times with a conventional differentiation such as an underline, inset border or contrasting colour.
2. Differentiate visually at all times with a non-conventional yet consistent differentiation used frequently on each page.
3. Do not differentiate visually unless moused over in a context where this is expected or mouse over is ensured.

I wanted to throw an opinion out there for the Tooltip Invitation
pattern to never include the words "Click to" as in "Click to edit".
If you need to include the words "click to" I think it's indicating an
underlying problem. It should be obvious to the user what is
clickable. This can usually be achieved by making an element look like
either a hyperlink or form field or with hover effects.

In this sense the tooltip should not be an invitation but an
explanation designed to reduce any uncertainly the user may have about
how the application will behave once an element is clicked.

In the example you provided, the tooltip text of simply "Edit" would
be sufficient provided the editable region appeared to be interactable
by clicking.

********************************************************************

           [we apologize for duplicate receipt of this message]

EuroPLoP is the premier European conference on patterns. The
conference offers a variety of tracks and workshops that allow you
to learn about patterns, to receive feedback on your own work, and
to discuss with fellow enthusiasts. It is a unique venue to exchange
knowledge about best practices and learn from other experts in
various fields. EuroPLoP 2008 will be held July 9-13, 2008 in the
Irsee Monastery, Germany. Join us for an experience that will
combine outstanding technical events with a visit to the lovely
Bavarian countryside.

EuroPLoP accepts papers containing patterns or pattern languages as
well as experience reports and other papers related to the theory
and use of patterns. For the first time, EuroPLoP 2008 will offer
thematic tracks allowing practitioners and researchers from a
specific domain to exchange knowledge.

In previous years, thematic clusters evolved implicitly including
areas like:

- Software development
- Software design and architecture
- Software management and development processes
- Human computer interaction
     (e.g., user-interface aspects or novel modes of interaction)
- Education
     (ranging from professional training to classroom teaching)
- Business and organizational questions

This year, we like to invite you to champion one of these thematic
areas or propose new topics by submitting a proposal for a thematic
track.

Several open tracks will be retained to provide for new topics and
topics outside the thematic tracks.

               *******************************************
                             THEMATIC TRACKS
               *******************************************

Starting in 2008, EuroPLoP hosts thematic tracks that put a special
focus on hot topics. In 2008, the tracks are:

Pragmatic and systematic approaches in applying patterns

Organized by Paris Avgeriou (University of Groningen, The Netherlands),
Neil B. Harrison (Utah Valley University, USA), and Uwe Zdun (Vienna
University of Technology, Austria)

Patterns for Collaboration Technology and Processes

Organized by Stephan Lukosch (FernUniversitaet in Hagen, Germany),
Gwendolyn L. Kolfschoten (Delft University of Technology, the
Netherlands), Gert-Jan de Vreede (Institute for Collaboration Science,
University of Nebraska at Omaha, USA) and Robert O. Briggs (Institute
for Collaboration Science, University of Nebraska at Omaha, USA)

Patterns for Collaboration Technology and Processes

Organized by Symeon Retalis (University of Piraeus, Greece) and
Christian Kohls (KMRC - Knowledge Media Research Center, Tuebingen, Gemany)

Please visit the EuroPLoP web site http://hillside.net/europlop and the
EuroPLoP BLOG at http://europlop.blogspot.com/ for more details on the
goals of the specific thematic tracks.

               *******************************************
                          SUBMISSION CATEGORIES
               *******************************************

Submissions should fall into one of the following categories:

Pattern papers

Short papers (5 to 10 pages) containing one or more patterns, longer
pattern languages (about 15 to 20 pages) or sequences and
work-in-progress papers.  All accepted papers will receive in-depth
shepherding by an experienced pattern author before the conference.
Newcomers papers may receive further shepherding at the conference
itself.

Proven practices papers

Papers about the craft of writing software or patterns, papers about
the concept of patterns and proven practices in general, case
studies of patterns in action, or papers about software development
communities of practice.

Focus group proposals

Focus groups are free-format discussion groups or workshops lasting
between 3 and 6 hours.  They are designed to bring together people
who are interested in a challenging topic related to patterns or
proven practices. Non-conventional ideas such as goldfish bowls are
welcome. Organizers of thematic tracks are encouraged to submit a
focus group proposal that covers parts of their topic.

               *******************************************
                           CONFERENCE STRUCTURE
               *******************************************

The main track of EuroPLoP will be organized as a series of writers'
workshops where authors work together to improve their papers.
Before pattern or other papers are accepted for a writers' workshop,
they are shepherded (non-anonymously). This means that an
experienced author will discuss your submission with you, so that
you can refine your paper prior to the conference. All submissions
will be peer-reviewed.

The EuroPLoP proceedings are published in book form after the
conference.

Papers discussed at writer's workshop at this conference qualify for
submission to the new journal "Transactions on Pattern Languages of
Programming" published by Springer. See http://hillside.net/tplop/ and
http://www.springer.com/home/computer/lncs?SGWID=5-164-2-470309-0Final

Technically I know how to implement Captchas, but I had a look at the Pattern Library to see if I could find some "best practice" advice on how to present Captchas to users, but didn't find anything.

As people are encountering these things more and more it makes sense to make the look and operation from a user's perspective as uniform as possible (obviously the technical details will need to keep evolving to stay head of internet vermin).

I'm no expert in this area, so I don't really have anything to
contribute, other than to say I'd appreciate some nuggets of wisdom from people who are familiar with the technique.

EuroPLoP would like to give delegates the opportunity to set the
conference topics by proposing themes for dedicated tracks.
Proposals should come from two (or more) potential organizers for
the thematic track, one of whom should be an experienced pattern
author while the other one should have a solid domain background in
research and/or practice.

The proposal should include a short abstract of the theme (no longer
than 200 words), a short biography of the organizers. Organizers of
a thematic track will be expected to interact with the conference
programme committee in reviewing papers for their track. At least
one organizer is expected to chair the workshop for the track. The
organizers may also propose a focus group related to the theme (see
below for focus group details.)

Following acceptance of the thematic track proposals this call for
papers will be re-issued with details on the selected themes.

Please send your proposal directly to the chairs of EuroPLoP2008,

Hi ,

I have worked on web applications and are aware of few patterns like
MVC. But i thought if some one can tell me a set of patterns to
concentrate than it woulb be a great help.

Dear colleagues,

we are pleased to inform you that John Wiley & Sons has now published
the book:

PATTERNS FOR COMPUTER-MEDIATED INTERACTION
by: Till Schuemmer and Stephan Lukosch
John Wiley & Sons 2007, 600 p., ISBN: 978-0470025611

With the advent of Web 2.0 applications, collaborative applications
become more interesting again. Examples of such applications are, e.g.,
multi-player games, interactive web sites, mobile phones, collaborative
learning systems, interactive workspaces and smart environments. In
these areas there is a shift of interest from human computer interaction
to computer-mediated interaction. The book presents patterns that help
practitioners and researchers to design collaborative applications
taking social and technical aspects into account and thereby borrowing
the wisdom of CSCW research of the last decades.

A companion web site is on-line at http://www.cmi-patterns.org/. We
invite you to share your experience with the patterns on this site,
contribute great examples of innovative collaborative systems, or even
extend the pattern collection with new patterns.

Yours sincerely,

Till Schuemmer and Stephan Lukosch

Is there any french version of Yahoo! Design Pattern Library ?

Sometime on Feb 9, Warren Noronha assembled some asciibets to say:

Wrong list.  You probably want to ask on ydn-javascript.

The answer though, is no.  There isn't an RTE that supports all grade A
browsers.

Is there a
rich text editor around that based on the yui libs?

Warren Brian Noronha

The best place to ask that question is on the group for the YUI library (ydn-javascript@yahoogroups.com)

We have recently added a new pattern library curator and are working on a
roadmap and schedule for releasing patterns out to the public library.  As soon
as we a concrete plan we will share.

Thanks for the info about what you'd like to see, it will help us make our
priorities clearer.

Hello, do you know when additional patterns will be added to the
design pattern library at http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/?  I'm
particularly interested to see your patterns under Navigation and
Organize Data.
