“everyone is currently rebuilding this stuff over and over again and rationalizing it as some sort of secret sauce competitive advantage when it's really infrastructure - stuff that really should be standardized so you can actually get around to doing the new and interesting stuff.” — Leonardo Lin, Co-Founder, Upcoming.org
“I kinda feel guilty because 90% of the work is already done for us” — Karan Bhangui
“Ah, the joy. No more coding for the nth time a registration module. No messing with authentication emails. No rewriting another openid library. No more. It's all there. Ready to use. Well documented. Greatly structured. Amazing stuff. This is a game changer in my opinion.” — Nicola Paolucci
“I'm simply astounded by how far Pinax has come in the short time it's been around. The list of features is huge; I think with a little more work Pinax could become a serious competitor to Plone or Drupal.” — Jacob Kaplan-Moss, Django Co-BDFL
About Pinax
Pinax is an open-source platform built on 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 was focused around a demo social networking site, Pinax is suitable for a wide variety of websites. We are working on number of editions tailored to intranets, event management, learning management, software project management and more.
If you have any questions about the Pinax project, please contact James Tauber.
