MSDN and TechNet Evolution

Microsoft is in the process of re-inventing MSDN and TechNet as community-driven sites. To that end, Microsoft General Manager, Dan Truax, provided the Microsoft vision as well as a brief outline of the changes for these two sites in his newly anointed blog:

Our vision is to be the largest and most vibrant online community for developers and IT professionals, enabling easy connections to the best resources and most knowledgeable people from Microsoft and the global community.
. . .

1. MSDN and TechNet will include content, samples, scripts and code that are created and contributed by our customers in addition to what is developed and authored by Microsoft.
   
2. Content, whether customer- or Microsoft-created, will be prioritized for placement and discoverable largely by customers through social activities such as tagging and rating.
