Hi, I haven't read the whole thing in detail yet, but here are my comments so far:
0-The scope seems huge, maybe the sub-portals can be in separate bids or dropped. please see point #2 1-There doesn't seem to be a coherent identity for the site. If the purpose is to support and state an official Egyptian position towards FOSS then I think you don't need such a big site 2-Lots of duplication with other well established, well maintained portals around the world. 3-Where is the mission statement for this portal? what metrics will be used to measure its success/failure in achieving its purpose 4-I find the overall time line inadequate. 20 months total? I recommend re-considering this and make it such that that there are 1-3 months and adopt a real agile approach. 5-There is an architecture diagram, and then there is a 0.5 month deliverable for architecture. So based on a very long experience , I will tell you that 2 weeks is not enough for a well thought out, reviewed and adjusted architecture especially if you really end up with that much stuff in scope 6-There is a lot of bloat, I would like to see justifications of the requirements for an API. The non-functional requirements should be explained better. When you talk about scalability you need to qualify this a bit. In the very simplest of terms, a scalable system is one that is able to utilize the resources available in an efficient matter. Scalability is not one size or one direction. A scalable system should be scalable up or down. Referring to a horiztonally scalable system without some qualification on how well the resources will be utilized can simply mean We will pay to waste. I would like to iterate the idea that we should consider refining the sub-portals and their missions and then think of them as autonomous units bound by a coherent strategy.
