The documentation monkeys behind Microsoft BizTalk Server have opened up blog shop. The Blogspot hosted communion professes not only to tell us about the wonders of BizTalk Server but Host Integration Server and Commerce Server. Content is sparse at last check like any new blog but they’ve made a good first dip in the water with a discursive entry about PKI and BizTalk. The credentials are impeccably bad-foot; these are the minions of the Mole that do this officially. They probably know the product like the front of a can of PBR.

One of the bloggers, Luke Nyswonger is already running a virtual ‘Chalk and Talk’ for BizTalk over on the MSDN network. Looking at the constructive quick start guide he already has done I am optimistic regarding his participation in this collaborative project. The checklist I had a peek at follows a sort of logical process and is extremely easy to read, unlike most of the white papers I’ve seen. If the need for BizTalk raised its head in a press, I’d use that document.

Back to the blogging party, they’re also looking for feedback on the usability of the documentation prior to its official release in the usual information labyrinth, which is nice.
