Hello Community! Today is Friday with International Community Update.


After end of each year we can better analyze all the growth in our TechNet Wiki.

This growth is driven by our passion to share knowledge and help.

In the TechNet Wiki, this is most amazing, because many of us live in different countries. People that never met before help each other.

Of course, this movement got started with new TechNet members and, when they least expected it, they are contributing to the content in our TechNet Wiki.

In 2012 the Brazilian Community engaged lots of people and a huge amount of new articles in Portuguese were created. That huge impact of the Portuguese language in TechNet Wiki led to the creation of the new Brazilian TechNet Wiki. 

In 2013 it was not much different, but this time the big highlight was the Turkish Community. They appeared on the TechNet Wiki like a Tsunami, influencing all with their participation. Again, the TechNet Wiki decided to reward this amazing effort with a exclusive Blog: Wiki Ninja for the Turkish Community.

So when I started to write this post I was thinking. Who will be another International Community that will receive the same recognition ?

Who will be the Big International Community in 2014?

We are all together. See you soon here !

I am writing this blog post on last day of 2013. This is the first time, I believe, when I am going to celebrate New Year alone while my family is on vacation...

This year we've seen a great initiative by XAML guy TechNet Guru Contributions. This great competition brought a lot of high quality articles and many new members started to contribute on a regular basis. This is fantastic!

I personally enjoy this competition very much even though it is hard to come up with a new interesting topic every month. Luckily forum's questions often provide a material to base the contribution upon.

 

Now, you can see I included Community into the title of this blog. This is how you can help. Look at the bottom of the TechNet Contributions article.

 

It has article for each of the categories of that competition. I and Maheshkumar S Tiwari created these articles and we did our best to keep them up to date. Unfortunately, this is a hard task to be done by two people only. That's why I am asking help by other community members on keeping these articles up to date. The best time to update them is right after the results of the monthly competition are announced. Also, editing of these articles is a bit tricky - you most likely will need to go into HTML view in order to fix TOC (as you may know, there is a bug in TOC script that ignores headers which have "0" character in them. Until this bug is fixed, we need to fix name tag in HTML view of the article).

I hope you see the importance of these articles that will allow everyone to read all TechNet Guru Contribution articles in one category at once. And I do hope you will be able to help me keep these articles up to date.

 

Happy New Year and Best Wishes to all Wiki Ninjas and friends of TechNet Wiki!

Happy new year!!
Welcome to the 1st "Friday International Community Update" post of this year.

The end of December is as follows:

The topic of this month:

• 292 posts of Turkish are New Record!! (exclude English)
• Turkish reached 1000 articles and beat English!
• French broke their own record of 36 that they set at August, 2013.

A year passed

A year has passed since I started blogging here. TechNet Wiki and every international community continue to grow. Let's confirm the progress in the past year.

The increase of articles in Spanish and French has been especially obvious since August, and the number of Turkish articles increased rapidly from October. For articles in English, Tagging has greatly progressed. Portuguese works as hard as ever. Other communities are also making fairly good progress.

We are capable of further growth!!

Thanks!
