[Mono-dev] Microsoft.TeamFoundation APIs

Joel, this rocks!

I'd love to take a look at this when I get back to Canada for the
holidays. I spent some between-project time on Turtle, an open source
GUI wrapper around TFS.EXE. The problem with this, of course, is that
it was only a wrapper around TFS.EXE. :-)

You can take a look at the project page here:

http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=Turtle

It was basically abandoned in its current form, but it's fully
functional. Just as people were staffed back onto projects that paid
money, it was widely determined that a re-write of Turtle that acted
more like a subversion client would be preferrable and possible. Let
me know if you're interested in quickly discussing the high-level
design for this.

-Steve

PS: The current incarnation of Turtle is a WinForms app, but it
wouldn't break my heart to rip out with WinForms views and drop in
Gtk#.
