    Project Idea: Windows Phone Team Explorer

    I recently got a Windows Phone, and I had a great idea for a project: a lightweight Team Foundation Server client. It doesn’t need to be a full-blown client because there are only a handful of things that I would actually care about on a mobile device. My initial thoughts are to prioritize the features as follows.
