Thanks @Ryuno-Ki and @Vitae. Exploring all these areas is key part of Social Coding. The idea is to struccture that into a crowdsourced ‘pattern library’ that documents the [FSDL](https://discuss.coding.social/t/brainstorm-components-of-the-free-software-development-lifecycle-wiki-post/53/2) (note that this Wiki Post can be edited by any member, and already contains some of the areas mentioned above).

Setting up the crowdsourcing process, designing content hierarchy, strategy and templates for the pattern library, and subsequently ensuring that people are incentivized to contribute and improve are near-term concerns of the Social Coding Movement. Yesterday, I [provided my thoughts](https://discuss.coding.social/t/what-do-you-expect-or-hope-to-see-in-social-coding-movement/212/5) on how Social Coding practitioners crowdsource the Knowledge Garden of the FSDL.
