Thanks Jan :D
I want to tell you that because of your comments, dear readers, not only here but on Soma's blog, I think we are getting some traction in rallying the troops to improve the VS help experience! You are making a difference.
I don't have many details for you yet, but stay tuned for questions and ideas that we'll need you to answer and review to help us know whether or not we are on the right track! Here are some themes:
- Fix search - the current local help engine is terrible here and we need to improve, and while MSDN online is constantly improving, we can do more
- Continue to provide local-to-the-box help, don't rely on the online story alone
- Improve F1 - figure out what the heck is going wrong with so many of the calls that you don't get what you need!
- Provide a more modern and performant UI to browse and navigate the help content - and bring back my favorite features!
Let me know what you think.
April
