Does anyone know any tools for developing requirements documentation (for Business Analysts/Process Analysts to use) that integrate with Team Foundation Server in any meaningful way?

Thanks.

Tfs
Hi guys, Recently work has switched from clearcase to tfs. The only problem is when I go to check in, it tries to check in all the .vsspscc files as well. Is this normal for tfs? Or is it a configuration problem, and if so server or client? This is the first time I've used it as before it was always subversion / git etc. Thanks Davy When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. I feel much the same way about xml

RE: Tfs
Yes it is normal (and annoying). You just have to ignore the file. If it doesn't change, TFS won't actually check it in (it skips it under the covers if using the UI, if using the command-line it will tell you that it didn't check it in). They are looking at making this experience better in a future version.

Re: [OT] Good sites to sell furniture?
Winston, If you just want to get rid of it rather than sell it try: http://www.freecycle.org/ I know you asked for a website to sell stuff but recycling it would certainly get it out of your place and someone else can use it. I have recycled many PCs, an ADSL modem, SLR camera, trampoline. If someone can use it they will. Cheers, Greg. On Tue, 2011-03-29 at 21:43 +1100, Winston Pang wrote: Hey guys, A little OT.
