Contributions summary:Brian primarily focused on enhancing the frontend functionality of the CMS, specifically concerning the rich text editor (elRTE). They refactored configuration options, changed variable names, and fixed a typo within the application's JavaScript files. Furthermore, they updated the `File` model in Ruby to correct a typo in the `dimensions` attribute. These modifications indicate a hands-on approach to improving the CMS's user interface and underlying data models.
