EDITORIAL

It’s been a long time since we issued our last newsletter. Other time-consuming projects and our migration to a more advanced computer system caused the delay. In this period 3 completely new sites in the portal appeared: Prime Butterfly Areas in Bulgaria and Apple Macintosh computers in Bulgaria. Some other new things include:
— Accessibility: Implemented are all necessary (and reasonable) adjustments to make our website more accessible (especially for people with disabilities). [More about access keys...]
— Search: A new powerful search engine has been installed.
