Whew. We’ve been putting the finishing touches on the new Enabled documentation.

You’ll see that it’s a wiki, on the Hayes build of Mindtouch’s Deki Wiki software. Expect to see some editing ability added in soon, as well as some of the neat abilities supported (bi-directional API support!).

In addition to much more simple API Reference, and a walkthrough for getting started with the API, you’ll also notice that we’re offering to promote developers who use the Box.net API in their apps.

This promotion works two ways:

1. Shared Files - whenever a user of your application shares a file through e-mail, we’ll include the name of your application and a link to your website in the text of the e-mail.

2. Your API - if you allow your application’s users to safely save and simply share with the Box.net API, we’ll work with you to get your API working directly with our user interface, so that launching your application to edit a file or document can be a one-click affair for users.

In a world of open platforms and open data, it makes the most sense for us to work together with developers to promote useful services. In the end, the user benefits most of all, with easy access to best-of-breed saving, sharing, and collaboration tools.
