MSDN Online Community Content turns 1!

I liked this feature very much. The only reason that I haven't used it myself to contribute is that if you find a documentation error or bug it says that you should not use the community content to report it but you should go to a separate website and file a lengthy bug report, a long process which I am unwilling to spend my time on, although I have found many errors in the documentation which I could have easily fixed by adding a correction in the community content section. But you say that community content is not for that and so I haven't contributed.

If you come across a documentation error, we encourage you to report it through the community content feature. Please be sure to tag it as "contentbug", so that we can easily find it and use that information to update the documentation as we do that continuously. Once the documentation bug is fixed, we will remove the content block. Another easy way to report a documentation issue is available directly on the topic itself, under "Click to rate and give feedback", on the upper right area of your screen. Looking forward to your contributions!

I am a big big fan of MSDN site as a whole. Through all my acedemic years and in my role as a software developer I have loved this site till the time this wiki feature was added to it.

Before this feature, MSDN pages were like a normal quick loading web pages. But, as per my observations, all those pages in which community content was added never gave me a good user experience at all ever. Every time I would load such a page in my browser, there would be scrolling problems every time a mouse hovered the community content region in the page or soemtimes the page would take years to load in browser even over a 10 MBPS line.

I didn't want to join facebook for such an issue and also am not able to send mail from home to wikifdbk, so posting it over here. It would be really nice if there would be a feedback form put on MSDN pages instead of writing a mail to wikifdbk.

Thanks,

-Dhruvin.

Dhruvin, per my previous post, please note that every topic in the MSDN library has a feedback area in the upper right corner of the topic, under "Click to rate and give feedback". We take feedback on the topic, as well as the community content for that topic. I encourage you to use this mechanism to give us feedback on any topic.

I have used the click to rate and give feedback but it seems that my feedback is never acted upon. For example, some years ago I reported an error in the samples found in the Platform SDK on the Win32 Treeview Control. They could not even compile. And until this day no fix was provided. Generally, now that I have the opportunity, the Win32 topics are very old, the samples need updating and modernizing, they need to adopt the same conventions everywhere, there should be more accessible even to beginners and they should be more complete in all areas. Richer samples are also needed. The .NET topics appear to me much better, whilst the old Win32 topics are, well old. Written in the 80s or 90s it seems. Please modernize them and take feedback seriously. If I were you I would have re-written many of them and put more descriptions for every little detail and also more sample code. Programming for Win32 API especially for a beginner is much much much than .NET, partly thanks to the old documentation.

The click to rate feedback area is inaccessible to screen-readers. Where should I click and after I type my feedback in the edit box, where do I click to get it submitted?

The email links are broken. mailto:wikifdbk @ what domain?! How do I email them? I have feedback specific to the topic being discussed here. I'll be glad if you could provide the email address of the team.

Thanks.

Rajesh.
