BrightSide adds a new web interface for the whole set of entities, but... what do we call web interface?

Following the plugin pattern to entities

For a long time, BrightSide has added features to entities by using a one-for-all pattern. Thus, attachments apply to dossiers, issues, contracts, documents, sale actions, resources and so on. Same applies for acceptances, tags, calendar events...

Now, a web interface appears as an out-of-the-box feature for all entities. Well, a web interface, what do we call web interface?

BrightSide gets a new language module, isolating the resources treatment. With the new Elephant Locale project, will be easier to mantain locale resources from external sources, as well as indicating which languages should appear as available to final users. The goal of this project is to incorporate collaborations in locale maintenance, making easy the way new languages get their way into the whole set of modules.

Turro.Org will also stop giving direct support for Castilian (Spanish). Provisionally and in order to allow fresh versions of Castilian, French and German, collaborators will be able to edit these resources from Turro.Org. Soon we'll come with instructions on how to collaborate with the project.

Catalan and English will continue to be directly supported.

BrightSide is getting new updates to stable modules. As a well-structured platform, changes spread among all parts, improving the whole. Wizard-like forms, welcome panels, summaries.

The goal, making things easy for final users, while keeping the scalability. Most of the improvements were include as self-contained plugged components.

BrightSide is now running on top of ZK new version, ZK 6.0.1. Code upgrade went smoothly, as if previous issues were all solved, an effect of the ZK project activity. Some improvements shine by themselves:

• Speed, new version runs faster.
• Control over UI, components layout is close to perfection, while composers handle the hard part.
