[Sigia-l] storing pattern libraries

[Juan Ruiz]

Hi eric, yes, we are thinking on storing them on a wiki system, but as
Ziya mentioned, they will only be screenshots, thumbnails and
description of the actual pattern.

We are reviewing tools to see if we can store library patterns in visio
connected to this wiki system, so, if the pattern is updated, visio
users will be able to see the changes and use the updated patterns right
away. (I don't know if it is possible to create stencils from
datasources - wiki)

If you and your team need to easily update, tweak and annotate your
patterns
as you apply them to examples, discover their nuances in practice, and
gradually improve them ...  then I'd recommend a wiki, one that supports
file attachments. Don't stuff them into static documents buried in a
file
system, that's deliverables culture thinking ;-)
