New fork, greek localization and a bit of CSS work

[humbucker]

Hi all, just chiming in to introduce our Fulcrum fork.

https://github.com/Achillefs/fulcrum

We have added greek locale files, a few view tweaks to facilitate a smoother localization experience, and a few CSS tweaks - basically, we considerably reduced the amount of *bold* text, as we found it difficult to focus on the on-screen data.

Have a look and let me know if any of this sounds interesting, and I can post a pull request.

We also plan to add in a few features:

  - Session variable that keeps last active panel settings

  - Keyboard shortcuts

  - a simple project reporting page

Thank you for a great project!

Excellent work, thanks Humbucker (Achilles?).

I've merged the i18n and 'de-bolding' commits from your fork, many
thanks.

All sound good to me. If you work on each as a feature branch it will
make the pull request process a lot easier and increase the chance of a
swift and pain free merge into the mainline.

Welcome to the contributor list ;)

The changes in `config/initializers/inflections.rb` seem to have broken
the Ruby 1.8.7 build, see
http://travis-ci.org/#!/malclocke/fulcrum/jobs/2580053

The error is:

unmatched (: /(�)\271στορία$/

Any ideas on a quick solution to this? I think I'm probably OK at this
point with dropping 1.8.7 support if it's necessary, but I'd like to
keep it if possible.

Hey Malc, thanks for welcome.

No worries regarding the new features, I will do them in branches.

Regarding the errors, it is a utf-related issue, as 1.8.* and 1.9.* are quite different in the way they handle UTF sources.

I will post a fix in a few hours.

thanks,

This should do the trick:

https://github.com/Achillefs/fulcrum/commit/f343b97989224eeea6adf561735ba4a5202291e8

From here on, I ll be working on branches and will issue pull request when new features are completed and tested

Thanks.

Cherry picked, and all green again ;)
