Technical aspects
Dandelion is a Grails web application which uses the EntityLib, Utils and Safran (the Java client library). It is intended to run on the same machine as the Cinnamon server. It can be extended to handle custom tables and data types.
The GUI is kept simple and clean, as we mostly used the default Grails layout.
