Building up your documentation Karma

I just saw that the MSDNWiki RC0 just went live! I love this project because it allows us as a community to control the quality of the documentation and samples. It makes it super easy for Microsoft folks and the community to quickly and easily add content to the MSDN docs…

This opens up a whole new concept.. I call it documentation Karma.. the theory goes if you spent a little time each week adding a few tips or code examples to your favorite types, then you build up doc karma, if you have enough doc karma then the next time YOU are stuck, and just need a quick example there will be one waiting for you down in the community content section… Ahh, Doc karma at work!

Just select the "Community Contnet" button

Then read or add your add your comments!

  Brad, quite frankly: nice. however, it would be a lot nicer if the msdn folks would make their pages work with ie7/vista. right now, there's lots of problems in that area. (some pages not rendering at all, some not in a readable fashion, jscript errors on every single page that is viewed through online help in  vs2005... etc. etc.) WM_FYI -thomas woelfer

  Via Brad Abrams I see that MSDN Library is now opening up a beta program to allow the community to update...
