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).
