Now, with the inclusion of birthday and from there on, they seem to claim your life is what is shown or, at least, what you choose to show. This move makes a difference, a huge difference.

As a matter of fact, BrightSide is intended for final users. You could see the Application Framework as a good starting place for writing your code, but the objective were always final users.

When analyzing, developing or testing you're not seeing what a final user will see. Your efforts aim to performance, some good-looking design and as less as posible bugs. For sure any final user will be happy having such an application... with the time. But not at first glance. Clarity and a good design are more significant when somebody first meets your application.

The Turro.Org Foundation is taking place in the near future, you can read about it in Organization -> Foundation. The organization solely might not be attractive for business opportunities: free software and basic documentation will be made available for system administrators and for developers, see Documents -> Javadoc -> Full report as example.

But things change if you stop selling software and, instead, bring support and services. Then Turro.Org Foundation will be clearly a good choice. Here are some pros:

Elephant was providing a Log System, widely used by the whole set of modules. The Log System had also a view where we could see what was going on on our web site. Who entered the system, how many times a file was downloaded, which document was saved or deleted and so on and on. Quite useful, really, because we could follow up the moment something was created, modified or deleted. And who did the action. Yes, and then what? You might think... you go and ask the one who did it what was the deleted content?
