Pinax is a Django project intended to provide a starting point for websites. 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.

This site is just a running example of Pinax. The source code is available as part of the Hot Club of France project.

If you have any questions about this site or the Pinax project, please contact James Tauber.

You can Sign up and Log in to try out the site.

At this stage, there is openid support, email verification, password management, site announcements, user-to-user messaging, friend invitation (both internal and external to the site), a basic twitter clone, interest groups (called tribes), per-tribe threaded discussions, per-tribe wikis, blog aggregation, bookmarks, contact import from vCard, Google or Yahoo and a notification framework.
