I think the SAFe Awareness and Readiness is going to be a very popular =D. I'm going attempt the setting up a TFS instance as more of a challenge in my spare spare spare time =DAnonymous

It would be great if you could include a link to the backlog on UserVoice in these types of triage posts. (I think it is visualstudio.uservoice.com/.../40562-rangers-project ?) Then we could better see how all the items are getting prioritized by the community. Thanks!Anonymous

@BrianB, we include the links to the ideas which you can select to see the community votes. Our backlog is on VSO and including a link is therefore not feasible. Would it help if I include a graph showing votes and the triage score? That could easily be included in future posts.
