Liberating Voices Pattern Language

The patterns that appear in the book and their respective authors are listed below. In addition to the 136 patterns, the book includes several chapters that discuss the motivation, theory, development and use of the patterns and the pattern language.

	Theory
	Theory is the most general level of the patterns in the language. In a broad way, the patterns in this section express the assumptions that we are making about the world and, most importantly, how we intend to engage in the world.
1	Civic Intelligence
	Douglas Schuler
2	The Commons
	David Bollier
3	The Good Life

	Organizing Principles
	Organizing principles are less general than theory but are still quite abstract. They can motivate and inform any enterprise, yet they themselves are not corporeal, they are ideas that we can employ to orient our work in a meaningful way.
	As we move forward, we realize that certain guidelines can be used to as help ensure that our work is purposeful.

	Policy
	Although largely invisible, policy nevertheless is a major force upon our lives. As a set of public rules, guidelines and programs, policy creates and demolishes barriers. Policy represents an arena of public affairs which, ironically enough, is often closed to the public.

	Collaboration
	How effective people are in their pursuits depends on how well they can work together. This realization motivates the patterns in this section and in the next. People and groups -- both informal and formal -- must actively engage with the world "outside" to achieve their goals. This, of course, can assume many forms from the purely cooperative to the openly combative.
	Collaboration can often be better served when new ways of looking are employed.

	Lewis A. Friedland and Carmen J. Sirianni
97	Community Building Journalism
	Peter Miller
	Community and Organizational Building
	A group is effective insofar as it integrates the insights, knowledge, skills, interests and resources of its members. Beyond this, a group must reflect on its own state, including its aims, methods of interpreting, decision-making, and planning and adjust its behavior accordingly. An effective group, moreover, must understand and adapt as well as shape the "environment" in which it finds itself.
	Organizations must take part in collective learning.

114	The Power of Story
	Rebecca Chamberlain
115	Public Domain Characters
	John Thomas and Douglas Schuler
116	Everyday Heroism
	Douglas Schuler
	Projects
	These patterns represent tangible projects that any community can initiate. Though these are generic in some way, the local situation will vary in every case and these projects will assume a "family resemblance" rather than a uniform one.
	Building a new world requires new spaces and places to encourage innovation and collaboration. Here are two b and there may be others.

129	Citizens' Tribunal

	Tactics
	These patterns describe activities that can be particularly effective even if only applied sporadically. They are limited in space and time, yet they can focus attention, unite disparate efforts, and help create conditions for future collaborations. These patterns appear last but are not insignificant. Indeed one of our most important tasks is discovering more of these tasks.
	Many of these tactics involve probing and engaging.
130	Whistle Blowing
