SQLServerPedia exists because these database professionals are dedicated to helping you find the answers you need. There's a ton of members of the community, but here we highlight three groups of people making the magic happen:
- Editors - the content gatekeepers. Editors have 10 or more years of database experience, and they help make sure that what you read in the wiki is always top notch.
- Bloggers - the folks who write blog entries. Typically these focus on breaking issues that we see in the field.
- Contributors - people who've written at least 10 new articles in the wiki. These people have taken time out of their lives to help enhance the SQL Server community knowledge base and make you a better database administrator or developer.
Editors
Editors help by moderating new submissions, fleshing out existing articles, writing new articles, and focusing on a specific area of the database community. They've volunteered their time to help other database administrators get the best training and troubleshooting help possible.
Editors can use the badge at right on their web site by putting in this HTML:
