Pattern creation by committee can be facilitated by the pattern collection for writing workshops created by Jim Coplien (http://www.bell-labs.com/user/cope/Patterns/WritersWorkshops/).

Techniques for pattern writing and pattern language construction have been documented, appropriately, in a pattern language for writing patterns (http://webclass.cqu.edu.au/Patterns/Resources/writers/language/).
