Please don't take my nitpicking on terminology as a criticism of the site and concept. I love it! It's really useful. I also accept that language drifts and even terms of art can change and the "success" of the pattern meme is going to tend to lead to watering it down, but I'm nonetheless going to try to hold the line on this distinction for now, as I think it's useful. People should also look at factoryjoe's pattern galleries on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/collections/72157600001823120/(which he similarly calls design patterns although I think they fall short of that designation for the same reasons discussed above, while still believing they are incredibly useful and great). -x- -- Christian Crumlish http://xianlandia.com Yahoo! pattern detective http://design.yahoo.com Yahoo!
