Hi all, I hope this post generates some discussion. Regular guy here: I have web ideas that I want to execute. I've done a lot of research, checked out guru and other dev sites. I'm web savvy but not a developer, programmer, or designer. The costs, looks, and functions of dev: The spectrum for web dev is all over the place. From $50 static templates on TemplateMonster to thousand$ and tens-of-thousand$ for true dynamic dev. I often don't like the look of packages like phpIbizi, phpFox, vBulletin, Datemill sites and even Joomla, Drupal, and Django sites sometimes look funky. I am a bit more impressed by some sites and features using Handshakes, and Joomla's Community Builder. Customization is an issue with all. Languages and frameworks: Then we have the question of frameworks, languages, and scalability. PHP, Ruby, Django, Symfony, and now, Pinax. Customization; "I'm different": Everyone envisions their own website ...

My first post in Pinax

I am gearing up to deploy my first pinax site on webfaction. At first it will be private as my chief objective is to get the basics down so that I can deploy a pinax site for a client. But it won't be long before my own pinax sites are public. Also I will be incorporating my upgraded django-faq implementation as part of the mix.

testing this out & pinax looks pretty good.

So I am facing a development opportunity for which Pinax provides a lot of the features and functions I'll need. The question is whether it's ready for the "prime time".

I'm a fan, and will probaly abuse it on my own. Thanks!

I'm currently trying out cloud27. It's a very nice social network which was built by some nice people who thought it might be fun to create a collection of apps which when bundled together make up a social network (or other type of site). This collection of apps would then be available for any one to use and built their own site/network. Pretty cool. You can find out more at http://pinaxproject.com.

Hi, Is it possible to refactor code such that it can be made to run gae. Is this feasible with the existing code base or would it require a overhaul?

My team is transitioning a legacy social network into the modern age, and Pinax really feels like the right tool for the job. Right now, I'm exploring how things work and trying to answer two questions for myself: # Where does application code go? Haven't quite figured out the best way to customize what's here for my own purposes. # How to do version control? I want to put my own code under version control, yet I also want to preserve the ties to the pinax code base and to the svn externals that are set up.

I have been implementing Pinax into a legacy site that I already have up. I have been meaning to document how I went about this process versus the stock install and manipulating the templates. The real challenge has been keeping up w/ the moving codebase of Django and also Pinax.

Having an awesome time at Djangocon. Really interested in Pinax.

We'll soon be launching Cloud27.com and when that happens (or probably a little bit before) we'll be closing down pinax.hotcluboffrance.com. Don't worry, all the information will be moved across to Cloud27.com (except all the "test test blah blah" type stuff)

Blog me this.

Testing post.

In the culture of ancient Greece and Magna Graecia, a pinax (πίναξ) (plural pinakes - πίνακες) or a "board", denotes a votive tablet of painted wood,[1] terracotta, marble or bronze that served as a votive object deposited in a sanctuary or as a memorial affixed within a burial chamber.

This is the Arabic translation of "What is Pinax" from the main page. "بيناكس" هو عبارة عن مشروع جانغو، يهدف إلى تأمين نقطة بداية للمشاريع الأخرى. يتم ذلك عن طريق تضمين عدد كبير من تطبيقات جانغو القابلة لإعادة الإستعمال والتي تقوم بالتكفل بالخدمات التي تشترك بها المواقع مع بعضها، أي سيمكنك "بيناكس" من التركيز على مايميز موقع ويجعله مختلفاً. هذا الموقع هو عبارة عن مثال لمشروع "بيناكس" يمكنك الحصول على الكود المصدري من هنا: http://code.google.com/p/django-hotclub/ إذا كان لديك أي سؤال أو إستفسار عن مشروع "بيناكس" الرجاء مراسلة James Tauber.

trying pinax, really impressive :D

While we've made amazing progress on Pinax, there's still a healthy list of things still to do...
