Hello @oadam, We were looking to try this project out and noticed it hasn't been updated in some time. Could you advise as to the status?

Thanks.

Hi, It's kind of a mixed situation.

I think the best for everyone would be an official fork that could become the new mainline but I don't know how to proceed. There seem to be a fork that has advanced a bit : https://github.com/oadam/proprio/network . Maybe you could contact @jb68 and see if he's willing to attempt something ?

Hi, I have a couple units myself that I rent and also wanted to improve my python so I decided to take this project and build on. I kept the original as is on master branch and just did update libraries to current releases on that branch. For new features I created a new branch "feature" and I added pretty much everything over there. There should be a bugs/issue branch. For the app, I wanted also to add more fields especially pictures and unit inventory that are necessary especially when you deal multiple units. I also changed a bit the accounting part, added utilities and how they are paid ( some may be paid by tenant some by landlord, especially in Europe, in NA is more simple. At this moment pretty much everything is still based on django admin but a real interface would be nice.

At for the immediate future plans, I want to be able to use my phone camera and upload a picture from the phone directly on website. I don't like the cash-flow account, I think it should be like an account on gnu money or quick books, it should increase with tenant payments ( as now ) but it also should be decreased as well with monthly owed rent. In this way you can get a report for current status of the unit(s). On the CI side I want to redo the docker part, maybe some tests.

Any suggestion, participation, testing would be appreciated at this moment is mostly me. I don't know the procedure for an official fork, currently I am using the feature branch, I will merge at some point into my mainline but there are some bugs to fix.
