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!
