@J.Ambrose Can you point me to Jared's template? A quick googling produced a few results without a template (that I could see)
I really can understand where you all are coming from. I feel a bit defensive as a visual designer, but that may be my lack of education in the UX Engineering field, or even the science end of interaction design. I think my defensiveness comes from a sense that while its good to have a common language for things, its also restrictive and may give an idea like "patterns" a kind of mortality, rather than letting it grow into broader meanings? I don't feel like "examples" is an appropriate way of explaning what Pattern Tap is (or could be as it grows). Its definitely more than a well organized gallery, and yet its not an educational outpost like ixda or some of the great "Pattern Libraries" out there. The reason I created Pattern Tap was because I felt that all of the "Pattern Libraries" lacked in any real quality of design, ability for designers to move through "examples" of those patterns in active use, and then be inspired or educated by them. We initially were heading in a much more "educational" route with examples and code to go, but it made for a more taxing app to move through. What are some suggestions you all might have about how I can tweak the current language (outside of the domain name of course :), to something more fitting? Or where would you suggest I be careful with language I use on the site? Lastly, is there any way that the framework of this site could be used for a more "traditional" "Pattern Library"? If so, I'd love to entertain that idea with some help from some of you smart types :), if you're interested! Thanks for the VERY engaging discussion.
