Happy New year to all!

On the onset of the new year, lets talk about the Forum Nokia Wiki. In learning to develop for S60, Forum Nokia Wiki has been an invaluable resource and it looks like the information available will grow more and more. From the birth of the Wiki till date, many mobile developers including FN members, FN Champions and experts have shared their knowledge and expertise with their aricles and many people work behind the scenes to organize them. Forum Nokia Wiki currently has 5889 articles. I, on behalf of Wiki Admin team, extend our deepest appreciation and thank all those who have helped in making the Forum Nokia Wiki a better community resource.

Here, I would particularly want to highlight an element of the Wiki which has emerged in the middle of the last year. In mid July 2008, we had introduced in the Wiki, a section for Featured articles. Since then each week, a deserving article is chosen as the Featured Article of the Week and is featured on the home page. Featured articles are considered to be good quality articles in the Forum Nokia Wiki, as determined by the  Forum Nokia Wiki administrators. Before being listed here, these articles are reviewed for accuracy, neutrality, completeness, and style. Featured articles are indicated by a small tick in the top right corner of the article. All the articles that are selected as featured articles can be found here. This week we reached our 25th Featured article.

Forum Nokia also continues to honour one member every month for their outstanding contribution to our community’s Wiki. The contributor of the month is awarded a new S60 device. The honor is given to people that have contributed outstanding work for the month in number of articles and quality of the articles. You too can be a  Contributor of the Month by simply contributing useful articles, example codes or white papers. Over and above, Forum Nokia Wiki also organizes special contest at regular intervals and rewards the winners. 2008 witnessed four such competetions including 2008 Code Example Challenge, The Asian Wiki Quest for Students, 2008 Widgets Contributions Contest and S60 5th Edition UI Contribution Contest.

Thus, it has been a great progressive year and Forum Nokia Wiki continues to become more versatile resource. And if you develop or are interested in developing for S60 or mobile platforms in general, check it out and feel free to contribute useful articles. 

See you at the Wiki !
