In a blog post on Dec. 7, S. "Soma" Somasegar, corporate vice president of Microsoft's developer division, said Microsoft has unveiled a release candidate of MSDN Wiki, which is part of the MSDN Library.

MSDN Wiki is an effort to enable developers to help write documentation for Microsoft's developer tools and products. The goal of the effort is to deliver Microsoft developer documentation through a wiki format.

The benefits of wikis are being widely recognized, and they are spreading in enterprises.

Through the wiki, developers can expand the Microsoft documentation and add such things as community content, tags, examples, and tips and tricks, the company said.

"We announced the broad customer availability of the Community Content feature for the Visual Studio 2005 documentation and the .NET 3.0 Class Library on MSDN Online," Somasegar said in his blog.

"The Community Content feature allows our community of developers worldwide to extend the official online documentation by adding tips, notes, code examples, and other information alongside the over 300,000 topics already covered," Somasegar said. Moreover, because the community content is placed in a wiki environment, developers can edit existing content blocks and add new ones, he said.
