\section{Intro}
 Many organisations use a ``database''.
 Maintenace departments often buy very expensive and customised software to monitor and improve their maintenace activities.
 There are many advantages to using a database.
 This is our attempt to create GnuMims, for open source Maintenace and Inventory Management.
