Unlike many other panel methods out there, OpenPAME is under active development and maintainance. There are many further features in progress. If you want to support the development please choose a silver or gold plan.
OpenPAME is developed to be as flexible as possible. It follows the KISS principle wherever possible. The suite consists of many different command line utilities. Each of this utility is designed to do one specific task. The order of the utility calls is up to the user. For the user it is also very easy to write a batch script and let run as many jobs as he wants.
OpenPAME will be free to use for everybody. While it is still in an early development stage we did not release any version to the public so far. The plan is to release a very first version to the end of the year 2020.
