JUST RELEASED: Post-RTM Update to MOSS and WSS SDK Documentation is Now Live on MSDN!

"Continuous Publishing" and the SharePoint SDKs

We are continually updating the SDKs with more information as it becomes available and as we receive customer feedback with new content requests; we call this "continuous publishing" at Microsoft.

 

The downloadable SDK will be updated in the next few months, which will be a coordinated release in both U.S. English and Japanese.

    Any new documentation is welcome. However - this is what I get when clicking on the link for the Copy Web Service: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/websvccopy.copy(ja-jp).aspx I ain't in Japan.

    Bravo for continuous publishing, but you should also continuously publish downloadable versions of the SDK as well.  I much prefer to have the docs locally.

    This comment is in response to austegard:  Where are you getting that link from?  I find the Copy Web Service at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/copy.aspx.   I think the URL you are referring to is an old URL and no longer exists in English-U.S., so it defaults to the only place where it still exists, which is in Japanese.  Hope this helps!
