  KathrynE Thursday, January 27, 2011 11:29 PM

  With the current refresh of content on MSDN (today, 1/27/2010), a number of changes were made to consolidate and streamline content that addresses customization and definition of work item types.  You can learn more by reading the following blog post: Significant Changes Made to Streamline the Content for Work Item Type Schema Reference.

  New Forum for TFS Migration and Integration
  Matthew Mitrik Thursday, October 22, 2009 6:09 PM

  Welcome to the new forum for TFS Migration and Integration.  For a long time, we have had no home for questions related to offerings such as the VSS Converter, ClearCase Migration Tool for TFS, as well as general questions about our tools, partners, and service offerings.  This forum is intended to be the home for questions related to all of these things.
  
  Something this forum is not intended to support are questions related to upgrading between TFS versions.  For those questions, the TFS General (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsgeneral/threads) or TFS Setup (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfssetup/threads) forums are your best bets.
