For anyone working with Visual Studio Team System, it looks like there is now a GotDotNet workspace project for a Project Server connector. You can find the connector project here:

Just like the WSS adapter for BizTalk 2004 last year, this seems to be the new Microsoft trend: put code out as open source that is not fully tested and implemented for RTM. Eventually this code gets rolled into the next version of the product it was meant to be originally in. This is exactly what happened to the WSS adapter for BizTalk 2004: it is now part of BizTalk 2006 and now fully supported. Yay!

I think this is a good way for Microsoft to handle the situation. We get access to features that we would otherwise have to wait 2 years to come out. Sure the initial code may be buggy and there is no support, but then that is always the issue we deal with when using open source right? At least we have access to the source code so we can diagnose the problem ourselves rather than wait and pay for a support incident.
