Pinax is an open-source collection of re-usable apps for the Django Web Framework
Project description
Pinax is an open-source platform built on the Django Web Framework.
By integrating numerous reusable Django apps to take care of the things that many sites have in common, it lets you focus on what makes your site different.
While our initial development was focused around a demo social networking site, Pinax is suitable for a wide variety of websites. We are working on number of editions tailored to intranets, event management, learning management, software project management and more.
