Hi!
Some links I came across today and thought people here might enjoy, to
kick-start the conversation:

"In a blog post in January 2009, Gowers asked whether spontaneous online

One reason it is a story is because it is made up of multiple
applications of the open source way. We'll want to start linking from
the stories, or ... having some kind of pattern language-like usage as
I did in the one story currently on that page.
We may want to be looking at ways in which we are applying this
pattern language:

And, wow, look at this that just appeared today, an application of the
standard pattern language to online communities:
