I just want to know really simple things, like
what on earth does Pending Change: "edit , [more]" mean?
how do I interpret the Excluded Changes tree in the Pending Changes window?
This is easy to find out for Hg and Git. Why do Microsoft make it so difficult to discover for TFS?

I hate TFS as much as anyone, but the specifics you listed are pretty clear.
The first one means that the changes included an edit and one or more others, e.g. Merge.
The second is pretty straight forward. The Excluded changes will not be included in the change set.

Adiu,
I use some scripts from http://www.rebol.org/script-index.r that I update regularly by using the librarian (http://www.rebol.org/download-librarian.r).
I just created an account on this site.
What is the current process, if one wants to improve a script (correct a bug, improve something, etc.)?
At some point, is it planned to migrate these scripts to github, so that code evolution will be easier?

PS: thanks for upvoting, so that I could chat in https://chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/291/rebol-and-red ;)

PPS: I corrected the question title; since Rebol3 sources, Red sources and many other Rebol-Red-related codes are on gi...ub, it would seem like a natural choice.
)
I suppose that what I can do (or any one can do) is get a copy of rebol.org scripts, then put them on github, work on code, correct bugs, accept pull requests, etc.
But keeping rebol.org in sync with changes in github repository may be difficult. I don't know, I have never commited anything on rebol.org, so far.
Doing it one way, from rebol.org to github is certainly easy: get a cron to run librarian.r regularly, and then git diff, commit, push, etc.
But the other way will probably be more tricky.

Is there a package or tool that will allow me to do live online collaboration on a text document using Emacs? i.e. a tool that would allow me to connect with another user via the web, both open the same document, display two cursors, allow me to see their cursor and edits in real time, and allow them to see mine?
Check out Rudel. I tried it a couple of times and it worked decently. It may not have everything you want (like seeing the other person's cursor), but that's not to say that couldn't be added.
For example, Flootbits has Emacs support. You can install corresponding plugin via el-get...

I setup etherpad and showed my co-worker, and he swears there is an Eclipse plugin that does the same thing but can not remember the name. Neither of us use Eclipse regularly except if we were both interested in making the switch.
Have a look into Saros project: http://www.saros-project.org/
Have a look at http://wiki.eclipse.org/DocShare_Plugin
This is the current "official" solution to collaborative editing in Eclipse.
I think a similar project should exist based on the framework ECF.
(DocShare as mentioned by Tonny Madsen)
There was a SOC project for real-time sharing named Cola, but I don't know its current status.

I'm looking for a good tool for our product/design team to use when they write up the specifications (app feature requirements) for our projects. Right now we're using Word docs that are continually edited, and it's hard to keep track of what has changed when we're developing.
You may look at CASE Spec. It is an affordable enterprise requirements specification and requirements management software.
The best way to track changes in docs or software is the use of CVS. I used TortoiseCVS for my projects.
In other collaborative projects I used Dropbox that is a share application that also can track changes.

One of my projects needs to show users where they rank in certain calculations. I inherited the graph structure from the previous programmer and had to leave it alone while I worked on other parts of the site.
It's time to make the graphs more meaningful, so I'm looking for books/websites/etc about graphs. (Not graph theory!) Charts that convey comparisons at a glance.
Everyone suggests The Visual Display of Quantitative Information by Edward Tufte and that's spot on for what I'm looking for, so anything related to that would be great.
Naturally, personal experience about what to do or not would be helpful as well.
I found Stephen Few's book "Show Me the Numbers" very helpful.
