Project Summary
K.E.T.T.L.E (Kettle ETTL Environment) is a meta-data driven ETTL tool. (ETTL: Extraction, Transformation, Transportation & Loading)
This means that no code has to be written to perform complex data transformations.
Environment means that it is possible to create plugins to do custom transformations or access proprietary data sources.

Kettle moved to GitHub at the beginning of 2014: http://github.com/pentaho/pentaho-kettle
