FIMster Information
A community is about helping each other and sharing information.
One method to share information and also to collaborate with others in a community is to write a
Wiki article.
For FIM, you can already find a
collection of helpful articles on the Wiki site.
To improve the discoverability of your wiki article, you should post an announcement of it to the FIM forum.
Here is an example for this.
On this forum, we track all announcements on the
Experts Corner Catalog Page.
The objective of this post is to let you know how to post an announcement of your Wiki article and how to ensure that your article will be added to the Experts Corner Catalog Page.
