The service connects to a specific Team Project Collection, so users are able to view Builds, Changesets, Changes, Branches, WorkItems, Attachments, Projects, Queries, and Area Paths.

I’ve already been overwhelmed by the positive feedback I’ve received from the developer community in just the last week alone.

Also, even though this is unsupported, we provide all of the source code for this service so that developers can customize it, extend it, and adapt it for their own uses. We are very excited about the combination of Team Foundation Server and OData, and might help the product team decide whether or not to provide native OData support in a future release of Team Foundation Server.

He says that they’re working on incorporating customer feedback now, and that v1 should be available within a few months. Senior Technical Evangelist Brian Keller offered the caveat that this is as yet an unsupported product. OData services have existed for some time in several Microsoft products, including SharePoint Server 2010 and SQL Server 2008 R2, but this is its first implementation in Team Foundation Server. Microsoft recently announced the beta release of OData Services for Team Foundation Server 2010, which provides access to the TFS object model on any device that supports the HTTP protocol.
