Most of the open source content derives from OpenUP 1.0, refactored to support independent practices. These are the key new features in the core: Work product slots to allow practices to be independent of each other. Default navigation view that ad hoc configurations of practices can be published easily with a view. Guidance and work products reusable across practices have been moved into common plug-ins. Category, role, and tool definitions separated into separate plug-ins to allow them to be easily removed and replaced by alternative categorizations.
