+In this paper, we aims to share our experience designing and developing the new
+SPB portal by reporting, alongside the technical efforts carried out, our
+empirical work process and the lessons learned. To summarize and guide the
+understanding of the main discussions in this paper, we define the following
+research questions.
 
-\item [RQ1:] \textit{Which strategy could be used to integrate several existing FOSS tools to promote the collaborative software development?}

+\item [RQ1:] \textit{Which strategy could be used to integrate several existing
+FOSS tools to promote the collaborative software development?}
+%
+Based on an extensive list of functional requirements defined by the Brazilian
+Federal Government, we selected some FLOSS systems to form our solution,
+generating a non-trivial integration among them. We looked for system that
+together could provide the largest subset possible of the requirements, and
+were fully aware that we would need to improve those systems in order to
+provide the rest. We were also convinced that it would be impossible to provide
+all of those requirements with a single tool.
 
-\item [RQ2:] \textit{How to introduce the FOSS collaborative and agile practices to governmental development process?}
+\item [RQ2:] \textit{How to introduce the FLOSS collaborative and agile
+practices to governmental development process?}
+%
+The Brazilian government works based on a very traditional way regarding
+software developing, frequently focusing on documents. We have need to convince
+them to accept the idea of open scope and empirical development. They have
+certain expectations about the development of project according to RUP
+(Rational Unified Process) and PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge)
+approaches, what not match our work based on agile and FLOSS practices. We have
+created strategies that would support different these organizational cultures.

-\item [RQ2:] \textit{How to involve undergraduate students in real-world projects, interacting with real customers from a Government?}
