4   -In this paper, we aim to share our experience designing and developing the new
5   -SPB Portal by reporting, alongside the technical efforts carried out, our
6   -empirical work process and the lessons learned. In the begins of the new SPB
7   -Portal project, we had in mind 3 main challenges to overcome, as explained in
8   -the following open questions.

26 25 Our team was mainly composed of software engineering undergraduate

28   -designers on the team, as well as with the team of technicians and
29   -managers from the Brazilian Government, and the management team from
30   -UnB. For the majority of the students, this was a first professional experience. We have define an approach to involve the undergraduate students in this project with a central role in our development process.
