pinax: a platform for rapidly developing websites http://pinaxproject.com/

Pinax is an open-source collection of re-usable apps for 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 is focused around a demo social networking site, we are also working on number of editions tailored to intranets, learning management, software project management and more.

If you have any questions about the Pinax project, please contact James Tauber jtauber@jtauber.com or join us on the #pinax IRC channel on freenode.

DIRECTORY STRUCTURE

projects/ complete_project/ contains a complete sample project and templates basic_project/ a more basic starter project (still to come) apps/ external_apps/ contains external re-usable apps via svn:externals local_apps/ contains re-usable apps that aren't yet externalized core_apps/ contains non re-usable apps specific to sample project libs/ external_libs/ contains external libraries docs/ documentation (using rst and sphinx; in progress) fixtures/ test fixtures (in progress)

The photologue app requires PIL which is not included in external_libs

There is some path manipulation in manage.py to get this all to work. You'll need to do something similar in your wsgi or mod_python configuration.

Note that if you already have an external app or external lib on the path, you don't need to use the one we provide.

With the exception of photos, things should just work out of the box. You can cd into projects/complete_project/ and run ./manage.py syncdb and ./manage.py runserver to get running immediately.
