This is a public git repo of faces used to speed-up migration to new versions of matplotlib. As a such it *is* a (friendly) fork of Michael Reithinger's code. faces is licenced under the GPL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html). faces is a powerful and free project management tool. faces stands for flexible, automated, calculating, extendible, simulating. It is based on python, an easy to learn and powerful programming language. Anybody who is tired spending hours of trying to get your project data into a software tool, that offers limited functionality. In faces project plans are defined by simple python programs, which are indeed plain text files. Creating and restructuring project plans is much faster than any grid or formular based method could be. The whole concept of faces aims to reduce your time, you have to spend for working on your project management tool. As project manager you need your time for managing your project, not your tool.
