Mayan EDMS is a wonderful product with a lot of features. However, its sheer number of features and capabilities can be a bit intimidating for the average user. This is where Open Paperless comes in. Open Paperless is a re-think of the user interface and user experience for Mayan EDMS. The goal is to reduce the complexity and make it more suitable for home users. Think of Open Paperless as a lightweight version of Mayan EDMS.

I just learned that the creator of Mayan EDMS is having a hard time due to the devastation caused by hurricane Maria. Head over to his blog for information on how you can give him a hand, thank you.
