Hello Corey. The EPF committer team decided that the focus of our next release is to better support practices along the new content design principles that we explored with the practices content prototype which was recently presented at the open contributor meeting and which is now available in CVS. After discussing in the team the great advantages of migrating OpenUP content to practices and having special tool features that would better support modeling of practices was evaluated with a higher priority than modeling with RACI relationships. Bing and I will walk through the 1.5 feature plan in one of the upcoming Friday EPF tool meetings. Everyone is invited to join an provide feedback. We are hoping to be able to pick-up on the SPEM 2 concepts supporting RACI after the 1.5 release.
The ability to rearrange the sections layout for publishing and creating themes was implemented by IBM for the commercial extension of EPFC called Rational Method Composer 7.2. It offers you to create your own publication skins. Checkout this post for more details: http://blog.haumer.net/rational-method-composer/24. In principle this ability is available in EPFC as well, because all the style sheets and resource files are available in the open source version. They are just inside the plugins under EPL license and not factored into a separate skins resource directory that can be freely modified. Thanks and best regards, Peter Haumer. ______________________________________________________________ PETER HAUMER, Dr. rer. nat.

Examples below: Example 1) On a detail task page I would like to have the ability to create RACI roles instead of Primary and Secondary roles as the only relationships options. This capability has been a long standing request. Example 2) Ability to add multiple output relationships. One that says "New Output" and another that says "Updated Output" so I can avoid having to create two separate workprducts with the words Updated and Created as part of the description when in reality it?s the same work product. 3) Ability to rearrange the sections and size the different sections for publishing. Even add your own layout colors and font types when publishing. Similar to what someone can do by selecting/adding different themes for a website when using fusion or a similar technology. Summary: The ability to have the functionality within EPF to easily create your own relationship and names of those relationships so that you later on can associate entities to them (work products, roles etc) and then publish this would be a great enhancement. Also the ability to move around the various sections, size them for a customized look, and use your own company theme on publishing would be very valuable in allowing us to use this product for various clients.
