Hello Chris,
I would be interested in seeing your paper.
I ran a focus groups on pattern repositories at EuroPLoP 2007, and
created a pattern repository (http://www.patternforge.net/wiki) as an
outcome. It falls into the category of meta-repositories.
The most important outcome from this exercise was not the repository
per se, but the recognition for creating a mechanism to federate
repositories, similar to what you not. Otherwise, it's just my
repository against yours and little if no progress is ever made.
Among the people in the room who had built pattern repositories we
arrived at the recognition that we need an open API that repositories
implement and which would people to create applications on top of the
repositories. For instance, if someone wanted to integrate a
repository (or several of them) with their IDE, they could do that
through the API. If somebody else decided to create a recommender
system for patterns, they would have access to the best existing
pattern repositories. It's like using Google Maps for the mapping
portion of your application. You are much better off than writing your
own, but can still add significant value to Google Maps in your own
application.

Maybe this would be interesting for you. I will try to develop a
framework which helps to formalize and sharing HCI patterns.
This is just in a early stage but this can be very helpful to the
HCI community.
I have presented this approach at CHI 2009.
ABSTRACT
In this paper we describe an approach to formalize and unify Human-
Computer-Interaction (HCI) design patterns. The goal is to help
pattern authors, users, and software engineers to work more
efficiently with design patterns. To this end, we have investigated
seven building blocks for setting up a unified form of HCI design
patterns. They will serve as the necessary requirements for
successful integration into the Semantic Web, pattern management
tools, and the HCI community.
If anyone is interested in the full paper please let me know and
drop me a message.

Thanks Christian! That's quite a list. The UI community certainly
has many repositories.
Yes, we often talk about how to federate or amalgamate them more
effectively, and there's been some talk about really finishing PLML
to enable better sharing and interoperability among repositories.
List: What others are out there???
Yes, please! I hesitated to post my list up-front as I know we are
just one small sector of the greater patterns community.
