Write your own content on MSDN
MSDN has now become a Wiki!
Well its not completely a Wiki, we've added a community content section at the bottom of each page. I know that the MSDN guys have been trialling this for a while, but it looks like this has now gone mainstream. Personally I think this is a fantastic advance for documenting our platform. Just think, every time someone learns something new about one of our API, tools, ... they can share it with the world. This should be a great way to increase the number of samples, descriptions of gotchas, links to tutorials, KB articles, related hotfixes (in the unlikely event of a bug :-).
I'd love to see some of the interop definitions moving from pinvoke.net onto MSDN - don't get me wrong, pinvoke.net is a fantastic resource and I have a lot to thank the contributors to that site for, just that I'm lazy and would love to see the docs and definitions on the same page - ok, I'll settle for a link at the bottom of the page.

From the home page we can see how much content is being added by the community:
Community Content Blocks: 2307
Community Content Edits: 3751
Topics with Community Content: 1937
Contributors: 1030
so it will be really interesting to watch how this takes off.
There is even an RSS feed that will keep you updated with all the community additions - although I suspect that this might start get a little to busy to keep up with.
