NEW POST: Error on Creating Project with v2.1

Could you take a look at this error and see if you can see any glaring problems.

I was able to upload the template, but I can't create a new project. I am able to create projects using the MS supplied templates.

Should be a logical name, like "VSTS Light Weight Scrum v1.0.zip" :-)

CREATED ISSUE: Shared Product Backlog between Team Projects

mazocar — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 20:45:55 GMT

Is it somehow possible to get LWS to use a shared product backlog across multiple team projects (multiple sprints)? This is a very important feature (maybe it already exists...?) for bigger projects where you have multiple dev teams working on the same product/project. I don't want to manually maintain and copy/duplicate product backlogs across multiple team projects...

Is this a planned feature? Should I make it a feature request?

mazocar — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 20:45:52 GMT

There are a couple of ways to do this, but the best way is to use queries to pull in backlog items from other team projects. For the next release, I will include a query for this.

NEW POST: How to download the source?

mazocar — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 20:44:06 GMT

For this project the release download is the source code. The process template is basically the template that you will upload.

NEW POST: Suggestion: Use proper names on the release .zip files

mazocar — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 20:43:00 GMT

So is the problem the "." or is it something else?

Please avoid using a simple filename like v1.0.zip for the releases - it makes it very hard to find and search the files later on...
