Dear Rubén,
*>> Questions for the developers*
1. Currently, exists some developer team for this tool that are working
right now or the project is stopped ?
- there no dedicated team to maintain it, but it is active project.
2. You have any plans for this project >> in the short/middle term ?
- Yes, some of the plans are to integrate it with core Mifos X
platform and add other feature (as mntioned by you) office import,
user/staff import, CoA import etc
3. I supposed that this project is open source, so If I want fix some
issues, ¿ Could I do that ? Because I've fixed the issue when you have
download the loan template. And I would like to improve this project in the
future.
- Rubén, you are right, it is open source, and you are most welcome
and it is great thing to improve this project.
I hope you are already aware of the code location if not, official repo is
at https://github.com/openMF/DataImportTool.
Thanks and Regards,
Nayan Ambali
