User:MikkelHøgh/Pinax

Pinax is an open source platform for rapidly developing websites, based on the Django web application framework, written in Python.

It came out of an effort to further the use of reusable apps, to make a more accessible bundle of the many components already available for Django, and enabling rapid development of different kinds of web sites.

During its initial development, Pinax was used to create a social networking web site, later spun off as Cloud27.

Pinax is highly regarded in the Django community, and could be seen as a competitor to large, open source, content management frameworks as Drupal and Plone.

Pinax was initially announced with the name Tabula Rasa, but it was changed to Pinax a few days later.
