Hello, I write most of the code for *"karakolas", a free software web2py application for managing "grupos de consumo"*. These are asociations of people that join their shopping baskets so that they can order their food directly from the local farmers, taking into account ecological, social and other criteria.
karakolas can import spreadsheets in almost arbitrary formats, using a non-turing-complete mini-python language. It allows bulk processing of records à la google docs, less fancy but safer. It allows for coordination of the different groups without compromising their independence. It allows for some (yet limited) communication between different installs of karakolas. It has a few more fancy features, but the truth is if you ask the users of karakolas this is not what they praise, they like it because it gets the job done, and because we listen to their needs and adapt karakolas to their workflow. You can read more about karakolas in these links: http://karakolas.org/ (in spanish) https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/karakolas/ (short description in english) http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/karakolas/file/ (browse source code) However, karakolas' users grow slowly; it's hard to install and most people would like to test it quickly. So *I'd like to provide an example site*. I do have one, but it's a personal server with limited resources and lots of software installed. It's easy to load the cpu telling karakolas to do some bulk processing, so I'd rather have the public example site on a separate server. As karakolas is free software, *I wonder if it's possible to get some free hosting*. Do you know of anyone willing to sponsor this software?
