New patterns site

Microsoft provides a new site to the patterns community.

The Patterns and Practices group at Microsoft has just published a new wiki for sharing patterns called PatternShare.org. The site already contains the patterns of noted authors such as Martin Fowler, GOF, Gregor Hohpe, and others. It also offers these patterns in a Enterprise Architectural Space Organizing Table so that you can see the relationship between patterns.

In the EASOT, each pattern on the site is denoted by a symbol based on the author and organized into categories based on the view, role, and aspect.

The authors of the patterns on the site include:

• Martin Fowler (54 pages)
• POSA: Buschmann, Jain, Kircher, Meunier, Rohnert, Sommerlad, Stal, and Schmidt (10 pages)
• Community (8 pages)
• GOF: Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides (20 pages)
   Microsoft patterns & practices (91 pages)
• Eric Evans (44 pages)
• Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf (71 pages)
