Richard,
Actually, it would be great if we could have something like this
which would form a 'toolkit' of sorts where we can take 'developer-
authorised' code snippets and put them in our pages. Such as
finally having a collection of code so we don't have to ask:
"What's the most semantic and valid way of marking up addresses?"
and such.
that's certainly one of the aims of the project - but it is important
to distinguish patterns from templates - a template is a one size
fits all, "use this bit of code to solve this problem" approach that
is often too inflexible to provide real world solutions.
But, a standardised reusable semantics would be a great benefit to
all which could come from this. I discuss this in my original article
http://westciv.typepad.com/dog_or_higher/2005/11/webpatterns_and.html
This would save a lot of time, especially for CSS learners / new-to-
standards folk.
Semantically marked up Photo Gallery? Go to the Photo Gallery
section and choose from sevral layouts, all given the thumbs up by
CSS Samurais and such out there.
Best way to do breadcrumbs (once and for all)? Sure check out the
Navigation section.
It would be very useful if it really captured the problem, and
suggested solutions to aspects, along with a discussion of those
solutions. Yes, people probably just want the code to paste in, and
there would be examples which they could use in that way, but for
more complex problems, as I have mentioned earlier, itss just not
flexible enough,
thanks for the thoughts,
john
etc...
What do you think?

Hi all,
Some of you might have read my recent article, WebPatterns and
WebSemantics
http://westciv.typepad.com/dog_or_higher/2005/11/webpatterns_and.html
In a nutshell, a pattern is a "a problem which occurs over and over
again … and … the core of the solution to that problem". When we
build sites, unconsciously we use patterns all the time - it's just
very little work has been done trying to capture and document them.
That's what I've started http://webpatterns.org to do.
The first big step here is the "PatternQuiz"
http://webpatterns.org/wordpress/?p=4
the aim of which is to explore existing patterns in web development.
I've started with site level patterns.
I'm really interested in the thoughts of all developers about the
patterns which we use, so if you have a moment please come along, and
contribute your thoughts and experience
john
