Team Foundation for Mono is a software implementation of the Team Foundation libraries and client programs to support the Mono platform.
Team Foundation for Mono is a software solution that implements the Team Foundation libraries and related client programs for the Mono .Net platform. Team Foundation is a collection of collaborative technologies from Microsoft that supports team efforts to deliver a product, including bug tracking, source control, and other capabilities.
This project's current focus is on the SCM related libraries and tools, offering a functional version of the TF client used to access the SCM capabilities of Team Foundation servers. In fact, the usability of this version exceeds that of the standard TF tool. Additionally, the team has included some subcommands from the TF Power Tool and leverages the Gnome Keyring when available.
However, Team Foundation does not do file attribute tracking. Still, the included TF client in this project leverages libmagic to implement file attribute tracking on unix platforms. It is important to note that Team Foundation is tightly integrated into the Visual Studio platform.
In the future, the project hopes to include a MonoDevelop plugin, as well as implementations of the other non-SCM related Team Foundation libraries. For registered developers, CodePlex is a publicly accessible example of a Team Foundation server used to host open source projects.
The latest release includes a new IRC changeset notification bot, support for CruiseControl (an open source continuous build framework), a MonoDevelop plugin for browsing TFS servers, several new commands ("shelve", "rollback", and "merges"), numerous API and usability enhancements, and many bugfixes. Overall, Team Foundation for Mono is a powerful and user-friendly solution for those looking to collaborate effectively on projects.
