IOD: Making a VS CTP Wiki Work

  • 發行項

It was encouraging to see Jonathan's post sunday about the success of various Channel9 wikis. Some of them are dedicated to customer feedback and others are geared toward information/tip sharing about the product in question. I don't think, however, I've seen any of the VS 2005 focused wiki's take off. The best idea, IMO, was the VS 2005 CTP wiki for customers to track changes and bugs/workarounds for each CTP release.  But the information there is pretty out of date.  Recently someone suggested to us that we set up a wiki on the Get VS 2005 page, but I don't know if it would fair any better. Maybe we should just link to the existing one and hope to drive some traffic there. I'm out of ideas here for now though.

    Okay, first things first. I find it difficult to write a comment right next to your photo. ;-)

    Second, a wiki is a living resource that has to prove its utility to grow its utility. IOW, wiki growth is inertial. Unless it has 10,000+ unique visitors per day, a Wiki gestation periods are bound to be long in duration.

    I have always been skeptical of the notion that you can spin off a new namespace/wiki for each released version of a software product, even one that's as humungous as Visual Studio. It might work out that way but we can't force it. That's not the WikiWay.

    I think part of the reason for a "wiki-gestation" period is that only a small percentage of people understand the concept of the wiki or can deal with the difficulties of most wiki editing experiences. Meaning that your readership base has to be pretty large before you gain enough people that could actually contribute.

    Oh. I also plan on changing the look/feel of my page soon. :-)
