===========

A core implementation of a CRM system for non-profit organizations.

Documentation at [readthedocs](https://basx-bread.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

Vision

------

Providing non-profit organizations with a code framework that helps to build tools for managing their data.

Mission

-------

Create and maintain a django-based framework which implements:

- A standardized UI concept based on IBM's carbon design system

- CRM-like core data models which are open to extension

- Code building blocks and shortcuts which allow easy customization and extension

Core values

-----------

- Open source development (this, however does *not* include free support)

- Use of existing and proven technology where possible while minimizing external dependencies

- Focus on workflows and tasks for Non-Profit organizations (User experience)

- Writing code and APIs for developers, not for website administrators (Developer experience)

- Development does not center around a final *product* but around the tools to create a *product* (because every *product* is different)

What we have so far

-------------------

- Integration of the core parts of carbon design in django (*"like bootstrap for django"*)

- CRUD-framework (*"Quick generation of create/read/update/delete views"*)

- HTML-layout framework which allows a more flexible hooking-in than the standard HTML-rendering mechanisms (*"DOM on the server side"*)

- Core model to manage people, communication and relationships

- Additional modules for:

  - Generating reports

  - Generating documents and PDFs from word templates

  - Custom add/edit forms

  - Data import from PDFs with form-fields

  - Customiable Database triggers to send notification emails

  - Invoicing module

- Demo project which implements a bare-bone version of a *product* (this repository)

What we still need to do

------------------------

- Improving the existing code base to have better support for extendability

- Write documentation where necessary and add code-examples and how-to's

- Implement revisions completely to allow going to a certain date and maybe display diffs

Other TODOs:

- Explain more why basxConnect is necessary and the difference to alternative solutions
