Mini Non-Profit Supporters and Donors Database
==============================================
"Supporters" is a small donor database for non-profit fundraising that uses
Ledger-CLI as a backend for accounting data.
While this system is used in production for Software Freedom Conservancy, the
code is likely only appropriate if you plan to do a lot of work on the
command-line. Eventually, the ideal would be to refactor CiviCRM to support
the ideas and Ledger-CLI integration represented in this code.
Why Does This Exist?
--------------------
Conservancy needed a simple donor database and could not invest the resources
required to maintain a CiviCRM instance: most organizations that use CiviCRM
either pay for hosting or devote some amount of staff time its maintenance.
Conservancy could afford neither, but this weekend-hack version of a database
suits our needs (at least for now).
Common Tasks
------------
These are recipes for some common tasks that one might want to complete on
the command line with the Supporters database.
