How can i extend TFS Web Access? I want to add a links panel to the home page and I want to add our process guidance into the UI, next to the BUILD tab I want to put a HELP tab?

You can't directly. Someone would need to build a version that works with the new Team Explorer.

How can we get the inmeta 2010 feature to work in the 2012 UI? visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/35daa606-4917-43c4-98ab-38632d9dbd45

After spending some time working with the new Team Explorer, I started reading up on Visual Studio Extensibility and came up with an extension that replicates aspects of the Team Explorer in TFS 2010, particularly in the area of Pending Changes.

TeamPilgrim: visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/79e9baa7-ea8b-4335-86ba-ae929bf67222

I'm happy to hear that the team is looking to improve the experience and embracing extensibility.

Functionality from your latest samples will be soon making its way into TeamPilgrim.

Thanks!

Pending changes is the area that is in need of some tweaking. As I've used it over the past 8 months or so I've grown to like the tree structure for pending changes. However there are two common use cases where the current UI really fall over for me. 1) I've got a bunch of files with pending changes and a set of excluded changes and I need to quickly checkin a single file or perhaps just a couple. Today I dropped out to the command line and use tf.exe. 2) I've done a merge and forgot to checkin everything before doing the merge. Now I want to checkin just the items with "merge" in the pending change type. Hopefully the work being done covers these two use cases.

Glad to hear that changes to the presentation of pending changes are in the works!
