Very nice and useful initiative I reckon.

Although I only took a quick look at the already existing articles, it looks very promising.

It sounds good although at the moment you don't support Firefox.

The only question is what version of MSDN will be shipped on DVDs? And what about moderation of MSDN Wiki Content by Microsoft?

This is really a great idea, we all were looking forward to something like this.

THANKS!

While I have not a definitive statement about editability on MS own documentation, I have some preliminary ideas:

- MS official documentation should be editable, but not directly by anyone. There are a lot of MS samples that don't adopt your own coding and security guidelines, and many cryptic statements that should be clarified.

- Since MS code *should* be followed as a guideline, every change to that documentation should be moderated/reviewed by MS or a group of contributors (like mvps) trusted by Microsoft. This is to ensure a high quality level of these changes.

- We should have a separate page for internal discussion on every topic: Wikipedia has a discussion page (example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ghost) where contributors can share ideas about the main content especially if it is controversial without affecting the main page.

And now it's here - MSDN Wiki!

Great, but why ANOTHER version of the library for this? Shouldn't this just be a feature of the existing library? Oh wait there isn't ONE existing library, you have

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/
http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/library/
http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/

and now

http://msdnwiki.microsoft.com

Could this be any more confusing? I think you need to start cracking the whip a little bit.

I think that this is a fantastic ideas as sometimes the MSDN code samples are not very detailed or incomplete. Moreover, they also sometimes lack real world applicability. So, I applaud the opportunity to learn from other people's experiences as well as share my own.

Opensource communities have been doing this for quite some time. Take a look at PHP.Net as an example. Maybe we can get some tips and ideas from them.

I would like to see all the MSDN documentation to be opened for editing. You can't imagine how many bugs I have found in code samples, in the Platform SDK, etc, etc, which I would have fixed easily but I wouldn't. These errors ranged from spelling mistakes to grammatical errors, to lack of clarity to more serious mistakes. Please open up the documentation for editing.
However, be very careful about your urls: currently they are complicated. If I have to go to http://msdnwiki.msdn.microsoft.com/library/wiki/topic.aspx?id=123456789,view=123456789 then I am afraid that I will not go there, the urls are toooooo long. If I were you I would move the MSDN documentation to a new site with an easy navigation (url) structure. Currently, not many people (like students) use MSDN documentation: they find it complex, overloaded, too long and difficult to find. Part of this problem is caused by the long urls and the navigation structure they impose on the MSDN Library site.

Several folks have asked about support for the Firefox browswer. THe MSDN Wiki team has this on their list of workitems and before we RTM, will likely add this support.

It should have sqlserver 2005 documentatio too, for example I created an article that I find very useful and it was a little difficult to implement, this one should be in the library.
