This is a basic django app that creates a table for EAV (Entity-Attribute-Value) configuration settings where each row has the following fields:
- application
- property_name
- property_value
It provides methods for retrieving configuration properties that allow for a default value to be passed in. It is entirely in the admin and ORM layer, does not include an external-facing web app. This is purposely not all that complicated or sophisticated. If you want something more robust, there are other, better options. This is quick and dirty.
