"For the Visual Studio 'Orcas' time frame, we are looking into several possibilities of how to extend the wiki concept," a Microsoft representative said.

"We think of this as the first stage of an ongoing evolution of Microsoft's developer documentation," Somasegar said. "In this version, we are building a wiki around the Microsoft-provided docs by allowing you to add content and edit content distributed others. We want your feedback on where the project should go next."

The MSDN Wiki Team also has its own blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/msdnwiki/). The team notes that with the current site, users can add content and edit other people's contributions in a wikilike fashion around official Microsoft documents. Future plans call for enabling the editing of Microsoft-authored documents directly.
