Valve Developer Community based upon Wiki

Today we're going to open up something we've been working on for the
MOD community for the last couple of months: The Valve Developer
Community.
We've reworked our existing Source engine SDK documentation into a
Wiki, which means that virtually all of the content can be edited by
anyone with a web browser and useful information to share. We hope that
this is an efficient and useful tool that the MOD community can use to
share information on building a game using Source. The open nature of a
Wiki raises some obvious concerns about what kind of content is
contributed to the site, from worries about vandalism to honest
inaccuracy and mistakes. There will be the occasional disruptive
person, but the site provides methods for dealing with this.
This is not Valve's site, this is the MOD community's site -- we've
just helped out by jump-starting it for you. The new site should be
treated like this mailing list -- as a place where you as developers
can share information about how to make games using the Source engine.
It should also a place where a number of people at Valve contribute
fairly regularly, with the plan being to make it the most
information-rich place on the Internet to learn about making a game
using Source.
The site currently contains all of the SDK documentation ported over to
the Wiki format, but this is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of
the content that is useful for developers to know when it comes to
building games using Source. Everyone should feel free to go in and
make any corrections or additions they think are appropriate.
