Whats New in girm.git (IRM 2)
Just a quick update highlighting what is going on in girm.it, the Git repository for IRM 2 (on Grails).
- It is now possible to create, view and browse Assets based upon Schemas, which are user defined.
- You can create Schemas and Fields in a Schema
- The functionality for linking CRI (Cross Reference Identifiers) is in place – needs more work on the GUI front.
While gIRM isn’t even into alpha stages, its showing a lot of promising functionality already. Next up is a first hash of the Ticketing support system (Tracking mk 2), as well as “personalities”.
Personalities are an abstraction to Schemas which allow you to associate sub-schemas with a master schema. For instance, you can create a “Network Connectivity”personality and associate it with both a printer and a computer. Personalities can also impart custom logic to the application – such as link graphs in the case of a Network Connectivity personality. The mechanism for this isn’t quite designed yet 
Feature suggestions are always welcome!
I sure would like to see the final push to get IRM 1.6 released as stable. You guys have done a great job on IRM and IRM 1.6 looks great! You’ve already fixed the bugs our company has reported, just need it to go stable before we’re able to put it into production. Keep up the good work and make that final push!! ~Thanks!

I agree with Mark – a stable 1.6 would be great for present users.
