Web site that collects and discusses Cocoa Touch design patterns?

Does anyone know of one? If it doesn't exist, anyone interested in collaborating to create it?

Update: Also see: http://www.cocoacontrols.com/

Best site so far is here, and http://www.iphoneexamples.com/

Others are iosdevelopertips.com, iphonedevsdk.com, iphone.zcentric.com, and of course the official Apple Dev forums.

I've come across many (mostly barcamp) communities who begin such efforts but haven't had the time to follow through. I would agree such a site would be useful because there are many challenges cocoa touch presents which aren't present with OS X (memory, performance, no background processes, etc.).

I can only come to the conclusion that everyone is under their employer/client NDAs and/or everyone is too busy to create such a site!

The delegate pattern is a design pattern that is pretty central to making the most of a number of UIKit classes. Apple's developer documentation pages (example) would be good web resources that collect information about related methods.

EDIT: Here's a page on Cocoa implementations of the observer pattern. Here's a book on Cocoa implementations of design patterns. With respect to iPhone development, KVO Cocoa bindings haven't yet been implemented.
