Visual Studio Scrum Template 1.0
The Visual Studio Scrum Template Definition goes into detail about the different types of work items available in the Scrum template, including Product Backlog Items, Bugs, Tasks, Impediments, Sprints and Test Cases etc. Most of it is fairly obvious, but it's useful to have as a reference all the same.

SitePoint Podcast #58: HTML Email with Mat Patterson
SitePoint Podcast #58: HTML Email with Mat Patterson
If you can wade through the "conversation" bits of this page (and I've only just skimmed the first 1/4) then it looks as if it contains a whole bunch of reasons why you shouldn't try to bother rolling your own HTML email distribution system. It's a LOT of hard work and there are plenty of people who've already done that hard work so you don't have to.

Haml and Sass
Haml - XHTML Abstraction Markup Language
This is a templating language with built-in support for dynamic / variable data insertion. Seems to be mainly geared towards Ruby On Rails.
