I discovered today that Microsoft has launched MSDN Wiki . I was using fxCop and reading into some of the details for the rules that it said I was breaking . Normally you are taken to msdn2 help system, but was instead taken to the Wiki version.

The core reference is taken from exactly the same database as all the other MSDN help systems, but currently can only seemed to be accessed via the web site. I've always found the online documentation from Microsoft difficult to search and navigate, so I tend to use the thick client version of MSDN Library. It would be good to be able to link to the MSDN Wiki from the thick client (for online help searches of course) to make it a little better for searching.

All in all, it's such a great idea to be able to amend the documentation. I've lost count of the number of times that the .NET Compact Framework documentation was incorrect, misleading or just plain missing! However, until they make it easier to search, I'll be sticking to MSDN Library, but will be keeping tabs on the blog for updates.
