The following webpages have been added, completed, and/or significantly updated:
| Date | Description |
|---|---|
| 01/15/2006 | Updated the process engineering tasks. |
| 01/14/2006 | Updated the process engineering work products. |
| 12/27/2005 | Added requirements checklist. |

requirements engineering
tasks. Added classification diagrams to various other method components. Created xml files for organizations. Work started on Java code to maintain xml files. |
| 10/2005 | The Requirements Elicitation task is renamed to
Requirements Identification so that requirements elicitation can become one of the requirements
engineering techniques (along with requirements invention).
All of the inspection teams have been renamed as evaluation teams so that there is no implication that the teams must use inspection as their only (or even primary) evaluation technique. Work is continuing on fixing all of the associated broken links. The websites achieve their one millionth visit. Migration of the website from www.donald-firesmith.com to www.opfro.org as part of making the repository free, open-source, and controlled by the OPR Repository Organization (OPFRO). The previous URL remains a mirror website because of the excellent search engine ratings of many of the webpages. Work is rapidly progressing on standardizing the schemas of the method components in preparation for translation from of the method component files from XHTML to XML. Emphasis is being placed on standard naming of method components (singular for process component classes), standardizing the definitions, adding a classification section including a diagram showing the location of the method component in the OPF method component inheritance hierarchy, and replacing goals and benefits with class responsibilities. |
