I got nominated and selected among top 20 Community Content Contributors for the the contributions I have made to the MSDN wiki in 2008.  This is the third year in a row that I am honored to receive such award.

Looks like, fellow uber MVP , Adam Buenz has been  selected too. As far as I know, there were only two SharePoint focused awardees. The rest were mostly .Net and a few other MS products.
