Where to report erroneous MSDN Library content? RRS feed

  • Question

  • I've recently (~a month ago or more) reported several content errors in various MSDN Library pages via the Feedback link on the bottom of the page. However I've seen no changes in any of the pages I've commented on. (Very simple things like typos in property names and invalid default values, so I'm sure they really are errors.)

    Is there a proper place to report these errors? Or do I just have to wait longer? Does the feedback I send ever actually reach anyone who has the means to fix these errors? (I've had bad experiences using these "feedback" buttons on Microsoft pages..)

    I've found this forum (MSDN, TechNet and Expression Library Feedback), but the description suggests they want feedback on the actual library software (also it's FULL of off-topic posts, so I'm afraid to post there.)

  • For other topics I'm not sure. You can leave a comment in MSDN directly...

    I read this FAQ and it states that:

    "Don’t ask questions or report bugs in the Community Content section."

    Later:

    "It’s fine to note relevant documentation or product bugs in the Community Content section; however, Microsoft people won’t be reviewing the community content to gather bug reports."

    and:

    "..file a bug on the Microsoft Connect website."

    So I guess Microsoft Connect is the way to go... Though it somehow doesn't feel like the right place to report MSDN Library documentation errors.
