Ember based Zimbra Admin UI

zimbra-admin-ui-ember

This project started off as an Ember Data front-end to the Zimbra SOAP APIs. Its purpose was to make it easier to get started with managing a Zimbra server from JavaScript.

Later a Bootstrap based adaptive UI was added, to put the Ember Data bindings through their paces. This makes the project a good launchpad for a custom administrative UI.
