Introduction
From July 2011 to September 2011, some ad-hoc work was done around re-implementing aspects of loan portfolio functionality that existed in mifos 2.2. The purpose of this was to see was it possible to develop substantial functionality on a volunteer time-basis.
As a result of this we (Keith Woodlock & John Woodlock) sought funding to take the existing code for the prototype and begin work on laying the foundation for the next evolution of the Mifos platform.

General approach and philosophy
We want Mifos to be faster, lighter and cheaper to change so that it is more responsive to the needs of MFI’s and Integrators. T
Project Milestones
- July 2011 to September 2011: Prototype work on ad-hoc volunteer basis (1 developer)
see Loan lifecycle and date flexibility: see Mifos 2.2 versus MifosX - Loan lifecycle and date flexibility
see Loan schedule flexibility: see Mifos 2.2 versus MifosX - Loan repayment schedule flexibility
see bulk upload/data migration for clients, loans (and loan repayments): see Mifos 2.2 versus MifosX - Bulk upload - Jan 2012 to March 2012: Individual lending functionality (2 developers)
Worked in close collaboration with CreoCore to provide functionality related to individual lending as was required by them whilst maintaining the vision of an open API led platform for microfinance.
