Welcome back for another analysis of weekly contributions to TechNet Wiki over the last week (Fri-Sat)

My wiki crawler was broken last week, due to them damn gremlins, but I have found the time to fix it and toughen it up for future crawls.

And it looks like the same is affecting the scoreboards when I took this screen shot...

Instead, sit back and take in another collection of award winning contributions from our beloved wiki'ers!

Most Revisions Award   Who has made the most individual revisions

Sandro Pereira comes first this week, with 117 revisions over 81 articles.

Peter Geelen - MSFT is second, with 73 revisions over 40 articles.

Fernando Lugão Veltem comes third, with 55 revisions over 24 articles.

Most Articles Updated Award   Who has updated the most articles

This week, the articles list is the same as revisions, which is actually quite rare.

Sandro Pereira is first , with 81 articles.

Peter Geelen - MSFT is second, with 40 articles.

Fernando Lugão Veltem comes third, with 24 articles.

Most Updated Article Award   Largest amount of updated content in a single article

The article most updated this week is How Changes to Public Certification Authority Standards Will Affect You by Serhad MAKBULOĞLU 

This is a copy of this TechNet blog, which was a nice article, but I'm not sure what value copying it into the Wiki gives...

Longest Article Award   Biggest article updated this week

The largest article to receive some attention this week is Developing Integration Solutions Using BizTalk Server 2009 and Team Foundation Server, originally by Trace Young and updated by Sandro Pereira.

This is another copy-in article, but a very worthy read, for those that are interested in BizTalk Server.

Most Revised Article Award   Article with the most revisions in a week

The article to receive the most revisions this week is AD RMS - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), originally by Kurt L Hudson MSFT, and also updated by Bruce Perler - Microsoft, who has been tidying and adding to it.

This is an awesome collection of tips and answers for Active Directory Rights Management Service. A popular article with much awesomeness.

Gotta love ya folks! Thank you very much for an awesome week of input!

Hello Ninjas,

It has been a very very veeeerryy busy week for me but I will never forget to post my scheduled post. Today it’s the friday- international spotlight

Most of times, there are 2 classic Friday Posts.

1. Yottun8 : Locale Rank Table
 
  
  

2. Luiz Henrique Lima Campos [MVP] : The Mug Day

The spotlight doesn’t go to a language today or to a person who receive a mug or Pocket book. The spotlight today goes to a few persons who are very “visible” on TechNet Wiki.

These persons are:

• Ed Price
• Fernando Lugao Veltem
• Gokan Ozcifci
• Horizon_Net
• Luciano Lima
• Luigi Bruno
• Luiz Henrique Lima Campos

Actually why I am praising this persons including myself? The reason is simple. When you’re on the homepage of the WIKI you can see our names. Persons influencing the WIKI and all these persons are in the team of WIKI NINJAS!

Isn’t this not an International Spotlight?

Doesn’t matter witch language you speak, from where you are or what you do. Our goal is the same and will always the same: “Help the community by one way or antoher”

[PS1:]

Bruno Lewin's idea :-)

Hello the community,

I’m very excited today to announce you a new collaboration between Ninjas.

But before talking about our new collaboration I want to highlight and give credentials to The Brazilian Ninjas. I got my MUG a few days ago and I’m very proud to use this MUG. Not because it has a beautiful logo or not because I can put 3 coffee a time.

It’s just amazing that a group Wiki Lovers (aka Luiz Henrique Lima Campos [MVP]) from 10.000 Miles of my house send me this gift. A big applause for them, for their amazing work and their attention to make the WIKI each day better.

A Few days ago Yagamoth555 was hunting, not on witches but on Microsoft Titles. You can check his article here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/wikininjas/archive/2013/03/03/weekend-hunt.aspx
and he founded something very interesant, the “Microsoft Technical Audience Contributor” who wasn’t an official affiliation to Microsoft.

I do not remember from where the idea was, or who sended the first mail but we the fantastic Four decided to create something like the Brazilian Community. Something like the MTAC.We decided to create the MTCF = Microsoft Technical French Contributor.

So what is this actually? Many of you are like me Moderators on TechNet Forums. The French community is actually doing something that any other Forum does. A little call for contribution.

This has been a sticky note on each Microsoft Product. You can check Florin Cuica’s post here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1109/thread/5ffa7df3-62b9-4d53-939d-6e0ee4454641

We are going to take the winners of each platform and send them an email and say THANK YOU for contributing and you are now been nominated as a MTFC please update your Profile Name. He will also receive a little certification or Badge. A preview of the certification:

 Updating his Profile Name is very important. This will awake the interest of other contributors and push them to contribute more. The Flow is as following:

If you have any questions or remarks please don’t hesitate to take contact with me or;

• Ed Price ( MSFT )
• Philippe Levesque
• Bruno Lewin ( MSFT )

Thanks,

I will be not the first nor last one that will blog, tweet or share through other social media that BizTalk Server 2013 is RTM. The 8th release in little over twelve years. That is amazing as I do not believe any Server Product has such a release cadence. Impressive as the Microsoft BizTalk Server Product keeps pushing out new features in the product.

There was talk, rumors or bold statements that this product was near its end. Some even pronounced or claimed it was dead. However the product is still alive as Microsoft will keep innovating the on-premise version. Besides on-premise you can run BizTalk in a VM i.e. IaaS solution for development/testing purposes. That is not all as BizTalk Services will follow in the Windows Azure Platform. This will be an enhancement of the previous EAI/EDI labs.

The product group made the following areas:

• Improved Performance
• Simplified Development and Management Experience
• Cloud Connectivity
• Running BizTalk Server in the cloud (IaaS)
• Support for the latest platform and standards

Alignment with the platform & standards is usually done with each new version. Interesting more is simplified experience with dependency viewer in the BizTalk Administration Console, the SFTP adapter, performance gains with MLLP adapter, XslCompiledTransform in Maps, the connectivity to the cloud through WCF-BasicHttpRelay, WCF-NetTcpRelaty,  and SB-Messaging. Even more important or interesting is the REST Support through the WCF-WebHttp. This adapter will provide the ability to consume or expose RESTful Endpoints. Finally BizTalk can be run in a VM in Windows Azure.

With this new version you can run your on-premise integration solutions even better, and it will easier to build hybrid solutions that span on-premises and the cloud. I expect that the new on-premise release will follow in two years as we are accustomed to. In the end I believe the product will merge to one service that can be deployed on-premise or leveraged in Windows Azure.  

Watch out for upcoming BizTalk articles in the BizTalk Server Resources on the TechNet Wiki. The following articles are currently present:

• BizTalk Server 2013
• BizTalk Server 2013: New Adapters
• BizTalk Server 2013: Training and tutorial material
• BizTalk Server 2013: Dependencies
