The objective of the project "Rapla" is to provide an easy-to-use resource-management system.

The primary target of the program were universities. Rapla allows coordination beetween the lectures and the administration. It offers multiple ways to view the available resources and schedule the events. Rapla started as a simple room booking software, but in the last five years it evolved into a fully configurable framework for event and resource-management.

Developement has started in a practical course at the department of Computer Science III at the University of Bonn, Germany.

Rapla 1.3 was released under the GNU-License in Jan 2007.
