Pinax is an open-source collection of integrated, but reusable apps for the Django Web Framework.
Developer Info
The source code has recently moved, see Download.
We're still using django-hotclub at Google Code in the short term for tickets and wiki.
We are working on Pinax documentation and you can also find documentation on the websites for individual apps.
We'd love you to join us and either contribute your own reusable Django apps or help us improve our existing ones.
Most discussion about Pinax takes place on the IRC channel #pinax on Freenode or the pinax-users mailing list on Google Groups.
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.

If you are building a Django-based website, you might consider checking out Pinax. Please contact us if we can help you in any way.
