I’m watching this video over at Channel 9 called titled Introducing Sparke. Sparke is a truely stunning product and I am looking forward to having it as part of the set of tools that can be used by interaction design orientated folks on a development team. But I have a few questions:

  1. Will Sparkle support Team Foundation Server?
  2. Will Sparkle MSBuild files be supported by MSBuild?
  3. Can a developer crack open a Sparkle project file to edit code?

I’d love to get these questions answered, and hopefully all the answers are yes!

Update: Looks like the answer to 2 & 3 will be yes – 1 is uncertain. I’d be happy just having source code control and still requiring Visual Studio to do things like work item association.

A nice feature would be having a “Go to Sparke” and “Go to Visual Studio” option which closes down one environment and opens up the other to make it kind of seamless.
