Pinax is an open-source platform built on the Django Web Framework. It is an ecosystem of reusable Django apps, themes, and starter project templates. This collection can be found at http://pinaxproject.com.

This app was developed as part of the Pinax ecosystem but is just a Django app and can be used independently of other Pinax apps.

pinax-forums is an extensible forums app for Django and Pinax. It is focused on core forum functionality and hence is expected to be combined with other Pinax apps for broader features.

See pinax-project-forums for a full Django project incorporating numerous apps with the goal of providing an out of the box forums solution.

pinax-forums was originally built by Eldarion and called agora. It incorporate code and ideas from various client projects. The clients were kind enough to allow Eldarion to open source the app and contribute it to Pinax.

The Pinax documentation is available at http://pinaxproject.com/pinax/.
