Help Index Patterns
No comprehensive catalog or index of all the available patterns exists, so you can pitch in to help the pattern community catalog patterns. Some people have created indices, but the efforts usually fade away after a while, so the pattern community always needs indexers. Within the user interface community Martijn van Welie's website (www.welie.com) has patterns and links to other patterns, letting it serve as an index. Either by yourself or with a group, look at the existing pattern literature, create references and cross-references (much as you do in your own pattern catalog; see Chapter 7), and make the information available to the rest of the pattern community. The Hillside Group (www.hillside.net) is the ideal center for any indexing effort.
