Microsoft launched a Wiki website. The MSDN Wiki site is an experiment in order to see how it can integrate community contributions into the Visual Studio 2005 and .NET Framework 2.0 documentation. There's is already so much content available, but there can never be enough. I wonder, though, if there will be much contribution. What would be the benefit of publishing something here over the vast majority of other sites (sites that are actually run by the community, that is: not Microsoft)?

Also, for all Firefox users that want to contribute:

 

But you can give feedback on the MSDN Wiki Connect Workspace. Be sure though to not login on the Connect site first, because you might get this page:

Do you think this will hurt C# Online.NET ?

C# Online.NET is a wiki-based C# and .NET resource featuring articles, code snippets, forums, study guides, and tutorials.

Tom,
Well, probably. It's a bit of unfair competition when Microsoft publishes a new site under the concept of 'community'. With all the (marketing-)power, new initiatives like yours will suffer. As community-site owner (www.devtips.net) it's been a common theme for years now: Microsoft 'creating' commuties and thereby competing with others.

In my view, only established communities, or the ones targetting a niche, have a chance of sustainability.

But linking to the sites here and there won't hurt. ;-)
