Publishing a Practice Framework is a valuable exercise as it allows you to see the framework in its published form, which may result in some refinements. 

Publishing a practice framework involves publishing a method configuration that specifies all elements in the framework (the selected method plug-ins and packages) and how they will appear in the published method (the navigation views). Such a configuration may not be delivered to an end-user, but it is quite useful; during the development of the practice framework for seeing how everything fits together. It is recommended that the name of the configuration include the name of the practice framework. For information on defining method configurations, see Guideline: Defining Method Configurations. 

Once the configuration has been defined it can be published. For general information on publishing a method, see Guideline: Publishing a Method.
