frePPLe data admin

⚠️ This repository is no longer maintained.

⚠️ The frepple project continues using, developing and maintaining the framework. However splitting the data maintenance functionality as a separate project didn't spark the interest and collaboration we had hoped for. Too bad, but let's move on...

A django-based framework for rapid development of data management applications.

History... and future

Data admin was developed by the https://frepple.com as a component in a demand forecasting, inventory planning and prodution planning application. This application has been in production use for many years at many customers now.

We strongly believe the data maintenance part of the application can be useful in a broader wide of applications. Hence our initiative to carve it out as a seperate open source project.

We are actively seeking feedback and contributions from souls interested in taking this project with us to the next level.
