MSDNWiki: Community Content RC0 - post launch

Published 05 February 07 07:29 PM | msdnwiki 

We launched on MSDN Community Content RC0 in early December.  We have had some great feedback and little bit of criticism.  As we are recovering from the holidays and getting back to the grindstone, I wanted to share a few things.

Activity so far

Right now, we are averaging about 10 new contributions a day (over the past 2 months).  Not bad, considering they are pretty good quality by and large.  In case you are interested, there is an RSS feed for our statistics that comes on the MSDN Library home page.  Here it is for the English site -> http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/Community-stats(d=rss).aspx.

Known issues

Biggest pain I see right now is our inline editor.  No cursoring down!  What is that?  Also, we are seeing duplicates in some RSS aggregators.  Well, we are working hard now on these and other high impact issues and will be updating that code along with a move to the RTM of ASP.NET AJAX under the covers later this month.

Please use our MS Connect site to find known issues, post bugs and provide suggestions.  It's not pretty, but this will help us all be more productive.

 

Thanks,

Clayton, MSDNWiki PM

When I enter the library by default I go to the en-gb locale[1], which shows no community content... manually switching over to en-us does show activity.

However the actual pages do show comments the same in en-us and en-gb. The presentation seems to be somewhat inconsistent about whether things are locale specific or not.

How can we get the equivalent of "Recent Changes" to MSDN2? I would be interested to see what fixes, examples, explantions people are contributing.

I'll blog about the RSS available for recent changes so everyone has it.

Thanks for the comment, Clayton
