 The integration of collaborative environments goes beyond functional aspects.
-Offering the population an unique experience across these environments has been 
-the key to encourage the use of the platform as it reduces the perception of the 
-complexity.
-
-Thus the portal information architecture was redesigned to provide a transparent 
-navigation and reaching users with different profiles. A process of harmonisation 
-has been employed on the interaction models of each tool in order 
-to reduce learning curves. At the same time, a new visual style was created to unify 
-the navegation and to follow the digital communication identity pattern guidelines of 
-Federal Government.
-
-With the features growth and the addition of new tools, the visual style has steadily 
-evolved in order to keep the navigation unified. With tools from different scopes, which, 
-in many cases, run features with similar concepts, we have faced with the challenge to 
-develop transparent interface bringing together the various scopes. For each required 
-feature, we often have to conciliate data with distinct strucuture and information pattern 
-from each used tool. The interface was the meeting point for this information with links 
-that users mustn't realize. The common features like display and edition of profile 
-information, search and content have been brought in line with the structure and other 
-existing features of the portal.
-
-Outro ponto crítico está relacionado a responsividade. Provida e suportada em diversas maneiras por cada ferramenta e em alguns casos, não existente, a responsividade do portal precisou ser elaborada de acordo com o limite de cada ferramenta. No caso do Noosfero, que não provê um suporte a responsividade oficial, o projeto precisou se dedicar a expansão da ferramenta, com diversas contribuições e diálogos com a comunidade e mantenedores. Todos os integrantes do projeto se envolveram desde o estudo, desenho e codificação de uma nova interface com suporte a responsividade para o Noosfero e que ainda não foi concluída.

-Os usuários fazem parte do processo. Em 2014, foi aplicado um questionário para avaliar a satisfação das pessoas com o portal antigo e identificar problemas de experiência do usuário. 
-Em 2015 e 2016, realizamos atividades de validação da nova plataforma com usuários e cidadãos interessados. O retorno dessas atividades foi decisivo para o direcionamento dos esforços e determinação das principais áreas. Aproximar o usuário as funcionalidades que ele tem mais interesse e projetar uma navegação que se aprofunde junto com apronfudamento do conhecimento do usuário.

+The other challenge is related to responsive web design. 
+The portal interface and each of its pages were designed following the bounds of responsiveness provided or supported by each tools. 
+In particular, in the case of Noosfero, which do not have any oficial branch dedicated to improve its responsiveness, our project needed to engage with the expansion of this platform, where we made a lot of contributions and dialogues with the community and maintainers. 
+All the project members got involved in the study, design and development of the Noosfero's new interface which support a responsive web design and that have not yet been completed.
+
+Users are part of the process. 
+In 2014, a survey among users of the existing platform was conducted to identify usability problems and to measure their satisfaction with the system. 
+After the release of the new SPB platform, several validations activities were implemented in 2015 and 2016, and the data colected during this phase helped to channel our efforts to identify and to improve the main fields of the new system. 
+The aim was to bring the users closer to features that they have more interest and designing a navigation which deepens in accordance with the user's depth of knowledge.
