September Feedback on Help Content for Beta 1 of Team Foundation

In September, we didn't have a lot of feedback, so I'm going with the flow and providing a very brief overview of that feedback. (Excuses, excuses). In fact, only three topics recieved ratings.

  • Visual Studio Team System received two ratings with an average score of 3 (average). I'm not sure whether they were both actually 3's.
  • Work Item Types received a rating of 1 (lowest), and the comment "clearly not up to date". That's true. The example we provide still uses the version of the MSF for Agile work item types from VS2008.
  • Using the Checkin and Pending Changes Window recieved a rating of 5 (highest). It's the first time I've seen a 5 on one of the topics that we carried over from VS2008. Interestingly, it looks more like our newer content than most of the other content from 2008. Even though the title is based on a feature, the internal content is focused on what you can do, and it provides conceptual information to allow them to understand whether each of the linked documents is what you are looking for. It's like a conceptual navigation topic without the table.

Project management content was viewed substantially more than any other section this time. It was hit 6710 times compared to 4540 for administration, the second most frequently viewed section.
