MySpace Developer Platform Wiki

Jon — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 01:05:00 GMT

All MySpace Developer Platform (MDP) documentation is now available from one centralized location. We've recently revised a good majority of the existing content and have a lot of new documentation on the way.

Let's take a walk though some of the new features and changes to the MySpace Developer Platform.

Developer Platform Navigation Bar

The following has changed for navigation site-wide:

Learn and Reference buttons replaced by a single Documentation button.
Test button renamed Tools.

Developer Wiki Main Page

Our new Developer Wiki is accessible by clicking on the Documentation button in the blue site navigation bar.

There are serveral methods to find documentation. Featured articles and categories are accessible from the Main Page:

Featured Content – new and popular articles
The Basics – introductory articles to learn about the platform
Getting Started – set up a developer account and learn how to create a MySpace app
In Depth – select links to detailed reference documentation

Left-hand Navigation

Direct links to Application Platform (OpenSocial) docs, MySpaceID docs, MDP Videos, FAQs and the Site Map are available throughout the Wiki from the left-hand navigation.

Site Map

Our new documentation Site Map updates automatically whenever content is assigned to a category.

Search

Are you having trouble finding specific documentation on our site? Use the Search box in the left-hand navigation of the Wiki, type in a keyword for a complete list of related documents.

Content Navigation

Let's say you are reading "What's New in OpenSocial 0.8" by Chad Russell. Since document is the Articles category and the OpenSocial category, both paths are displayed at the top of the page.

FAQ Index

We've revised and reorganized the entire FAQ into groups, then created an FAQ Index that will help guide you to the information, if available.

External contribution to the Wiki documentation is unavailable at this time. We are currently using our Wiki as a powerful collaboration tool between teams within MySpace to provide higher quality, accurate documentation for developers.

Questions, comments, feedback and suggestions are always welcome!
