I ran two searches on CodePlex to see what folks are developing for TFS. One search was for “TFS” and the other was for “Team Foundation,” which I hope would be enough to catch them all. The second search only yielded one additional project (Time Tracker).
It’s always cool to see what folks come up with. Highly-motivated individuals and groups can extend TFS in really meaningful ways. If you start a project for TFS, contact me when you have a usable release, and I’ll mention it in a post.
The one highlighted in bold have useful releases that you can download today.
