But that makes no sense - a pattern is *not* an implementation therefore there is nothing to translate. A pattern is a concept. Each pattern has multiple implementations regardless of which language you are using. > I think the pattern porting exercise would be interesting and potentially > valuable.

Not really - those are examples that use a framework, they are not implementations of the framework. But then frameworks aren't patterns either (since a framework is, by definition, code whereas a pattern is, by definition, not code). -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Breeze Me! -- http://www.corfield.org/breezeme Got Gmail? -- I have 6 invites to give away!
