One of the big areas of investment for us recently is “social” experiences.\u00a0 I’m using a fairly broad definition of that term, including a focus on “me” and my stuff and capabilities that improve collaboration across my team, project, organization.\u00a0 You’ve already seen lots of pieces that support this general direction:<\/p>\n
All of these are steps on a journey to an improved collaboration experience.\nAs part of our work, we concluded we need to have a pretty full-featured Wiki experience to enable all the collaboration experiences we feel are needed.\u00a0 Fortunately, one of our partners was already building a Wiki extension and had published it in the VS Marketplace<\/a>.\u00a0 We decided to purchase the extension and use it as a stepping stone to get to where we want to be with Wikis.\u00a0 We’re just getting going on it now and it will probably take a couple of sprints for us to get our feet under us and start producing a preview of the “V2” of that extension.\u00a0 For now, you can use the current extension in the marketplace<\/a>.\u00a0 It’s not complete but it’s reasonably functional.\u00a0 We’ve changed the publisher to Microsoft DevLabs for now to represent the transitional state.\nAs we build it out, we’ll make sure it works both on Team Services and Team Foundation Server.\u00a0 I hate to comment on the business model at this early of a stage but we think we’ll just include it as part of your base TFS\/Team Services license – so we don’t expect there will be any additional charge.\u00a0 In fact, I think it won’t even be in the marketplace when we are done – it will just be built it.\u00a0 Some of these things we need to settle for sure but, at a high level, we think of Wiki as a fundamental part of the experience and don’t want to have it not be available for some people.\nStay tuned for more in the next few months.\u00a0 Also, watch for a feature timeline <\/a>update early next month to see more of the “social” work on our roadmap.\nYou can read more if you are interested on our official Wiki announcement<\/a> blog post.\nBrian<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the big areas of investment for us recently is “social” experiences.\u00a0 I’m using a fairly broad definition of that term, including a focus on “me” and my stuff and capabilities that improve collaboration across my team, project, organization.\u00a0 You’ve already seen lots of pieces that support this general direction: The new account pages […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":244,"featured_media":14617,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[5,9],"class_list":["post-12655","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-tfs","tag-vs-team-services"],"acf":[],"blog_post_summary":" One of the big areas of investment for us recently is “social” experiences.\u00a0 I’m using a fairly broad definition of that term, including a focus on “me” and my stuff and capabilities that improve collaboration across my team, project, organization.\u00a0 You’ve already seen lots of pieces that support this general direction: The new account pages […]<\/p>\n","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/bharry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/bharry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/bharry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/bharry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/244"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/bharry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12655"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/bharry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12655\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/bharry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/bharry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/bharry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/bharry\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
