What is it?

Antragsgrün is a web application for organisations such as NGOs, political parties and social initiatives that need to discuss resolutions, party platforms and amendments together. Members submit motions online, others propose amendments, and administrators manage the amendment process from submission through to the final text.

Beyond drafting, the tool includes online voting, speaking lists for meetings, and candidacy management. Motions and amendments can be held in several languages at once, and content can be exported in several formats, including PDF. The software is built on PHP with the Yii2 framework and MySQL or MariaDB, and it can be deployed as a pre-bundled package, from source, or with Docker.

The project has configuration options for CAPTCHA, two-factor authentication, multisite operation, Redis caching, background jobs and an optional live server for real-time updates. A REST API and plugin system allow custom themes and language variants.
