UI Patterns community growing
• Subject of much conversation on IxDA discussion list and at Interaction08
• Information Architecture Institute starting initiative to document IA patterns
• Peter Morville (polar bear book) working on Search Patterns
• Microformats community and OpenID and OAuth advocates expressing approval and disapproval of UI practices in terms of patterns and antipatterns

YPL Feature Wishlist (in progress)
• RSS feed: prototype exists - working on backdating
• API: single pattern kernel exists - need to build full API
• Redesign of YDN (scheduled to launch later this year)
• Tighter integration of patterns with YDN service suites and APIs and with YUI and Astra
• Integrated comment forums
• Wiki, community, open version of patterns

More Useful Tools for designers and developers
• Need for toolkits showing how to use patterns together with code libraries (YUI and Astra)
• Better feedback mechanisms to help guide our services
• Examples from case studies
• using Yahoo patterns or leveraging Yahoo pattern library experience
• Target, Razorfish, Social Media Japan, Comcast, Monster, Oracle
Upcoming Events and Appearances
• SxSW (March 11, Austin, 5pm)
• Core Conversation on social patterns (identity, presence, and reputation)
• IA Summit (April 10, Miami, all day)
• Pattern library workshop
• Agile Patterns presentation
• Pattern Summit (this summer)?
