Heard about this from Oleg Tkachenko's Blog
Notes:
There is a page navigation bar on the left, content in the middle and community stats on the right. You can check it out here. Here is the FAQ page.
To add content, you navigate to the page you want (using the page navigation bar) on the left and click on Add content. I tried adding content. Works fine with IE.
Since Firefox was not supported in the current version, I got an error. The FAQ page, says that support for Firefox is planned.
There are some nice touches mostly UI related.
- A left navigation panel to move around the site
- Community stats on the right
- A list of Top Contributors
- A list of most recent comments
- An easy way to launch a new window to browse through history of the page (instead o scrolling comments in the same page)
I think with this wiki, Microsoft will expand the usage of wikis. I plan to explore it further over the next few days.
