Why not creating kinda WIKI?
-
I think a wiki on specific topics would be a cool idea. There are many articles on CodeProject, but many of they are very similar. It doesn't make sense for example to create ten articles about working threads and so on. So I think that there should be a wiki with a small team of admins that create big topics, e.g. threads, stream sockets, dgram sockets, streaming, audio, 3d, specific mathematic topics, and so on, and every user can add/change things. So it could be possible that every user of CodeProject could improve articles to make everything better! So we could write good article texts instead of buggy source code, which can be very time consuming for a single person. That would make life easier! What do you think? Don't try it, just do it! ;-)

I would *love* a WinAPI WIKI. Somewhere to collect comments, tips, errata on the various Windows APIs... Not sure if it'd fly, but would be fun to try. Especially with VS integration... ;)

I think the diversity of articles on the same subject is one of CodeProject's strengths. I prefer to read articles that have a single author's voice, rather than a tech document built by a committee.

The trouble with them is that the contents receives so many edits that it is no longer the work of an individual. I prefer to read a personal view on the subject and not get into pissing contests on whose view is more correct. Wikis have their place. I just don't feel that place is on CodeProject Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]

A wiki can of course not replace the old article system, but it can extend it. We need a wiki because we can combine difference nice aspects that way! The articles about the win32 api can be replaced by a wiki, but not all the other articles. Don't try it, just do it! ;-)

I like wiki concept. Is not a comitee, is like a consensual style of writing. Useful for a knowledge base. I know of dotnet.wikis.com, but I like more a wiki on the style of wikipedia, powered by wikimedia. I'm not aware of a wiki implemented on .Net with all the features of wikimedia, if you can find a good one, would be cool, a wiki of .Net using php doesn't looks good. BTW, I have the resources to start a mediawiki, but again, I like to see it over asp.net. Eduardo Diaz site | english blog | spanish blog
