Actually, come to think of it I know exactly the right place for you to
look. ;)

Check out Ward Cunningham's WikiWikiWeb, specifically it's Category Listing:

	http://www.c2.com/cgi-bin/wiki?CategoryCategory

Near the bottom of the page you'll find category headings for Patterns as
well as general development and programming discussions.

The wiki is a discussion that is not threaded -- anyone can edit any page at
any time. There are over 20,000 wiki pages dealing with all manner of
programming topics, but mostly focusing on Extreme Programming and object
technologies.

I've learned a *lot* from this site over the past few years. There are some
incredibly smart developers over there.
