SIM: web application to manage seed inventory for small, international NGOs

We're building an application for a non-profit that Brian is connected with. They send small packets of seeds to people working with poor farmers throughout the developing world. We'll build a tool for them to manage their inventory. Our hope is that a) this can be of use to them, and b) be open sourced and used by other small seed saving operations throughout the world.
