    by XAML guy}

    Welcome back for another analysis of contributions to TechNet Wiki over the last week.

    Unfortunately, the crawler is badly broken, which can only mean there's been some template changes to the Wiki, which my crawler doesn't expect.

    I'll do some debugging this week, but till it's fixed, the extra awards are missing :(

     

    First, here's the usual screen grab of the weekly leader board...

     

    Now, this week we have a special guest Ninja. WindowsPhoneContent is the team that are importing all the Windows Phone Wiki content over, from what used to be Nokia's own Wiki.

    We are very glad to have this valuable content loaded into TechNet Wiki, as it represents a wealth of knowledge from dedicated community members donating time to help others.

    This is another example of Microsoft staying true to its community and never leaving a man behind, so to speak!

     

    As we're a bit "lite" on content this week, I'll also post a snapshot of the overall stats:

     

    So here are just some of the results of another weekly crawl over the updated articles feed.

    Hopefully normal service is resumed next week!

    The TechNet Wiki Day award of last month was very disputed. Many articles in Portuguese and other languages were listed by the Selection Committee Articles.

    The difficult task of defining a winner among all articles, only highlights the technical quality of these articles presented below:

    Gold:    Passos de troubleshooting para cenários de Slow Logon e Slow Boot by Fernando H. Silva
    Silver:   Instalando Entity Framework via NuGet e PowerShell by Andrielle Azevedo
    Bronze: Autenticação usando a conta do Facebook, Google e Microsoft numa app de WP8.0 by Sara MG. Silva

    Congratulations to all the winning articles and their authors.

    The Gold medal article: Passos de troubleshooting para cenários de Slow Logon e Slow Boot was also posted on Wiki Ninjas Brazil Blog and recognized by TechNet Wiki Day WINNER tag.

    Congratulations Fernando H. Silva and thanks for your commitment and dedication, still contributing to the growth and the quality of the our Microsoft TechNet Wiki Community.

    See you soon here !

    Welcome back for another analysis of contributions to TechNet Wiki over the last week. A day late due to "technical difficulties".

    We've had the gremlins in this week. Both the leader board and my crawler are a bit broken, but I've managed to pull the usual stats, just unable to give the winners extras bit at the end.

    First up, all we have this week for the weekly leader board snapshot...

     

    Alas, these things happen from time to time, so please forgive us for the broken leader board this week.

  • Friday International Update - Persian Wiki Ninjas Blog

    Posted 2 months ago
    by Payman Biukaghazadeh}

    Hello community!

    Today is Friday and we are going to introduce a new feature for one of our languages. Yes! You guessed right!

    Persian community will going to have their own Persian blog. The main goal is the same as the Wiki Ninjas blog:

    "Wiki Ninjas is a group of authors who celebrate and evangelize the community catalyst and social-authoring excellence that is called TechNet Wiki."

    Furthermore, attracting audiences and contributors to help us in the improvement of the Persian community is the secondary goal. And we also will use it as an official media for the Persian speaking Wiki Ninjas.

    The current author list is as:

    Yahya Zahedi

    Mahnaz Zahabi

    Erfan Taheri

    Omid Koushki

    Payman Biukaghazadeh

    You could check (and hopefully join! :-D) the Facebook group of Persian Wiki Ninjas. Also have a look at the latest rank of the Persian community in the international progress.

    And, special thanks to Ed for his supports on the Persian community.
