django-machina 0.7.0

A Django forum engine for building powerful community driven websites.

Django-machina is a forum framework for Django providing a way to build community-driven websites. It offers a full-featured yet very extensible forum solution:

• Topic and post editing
• Forums tree management
• Per-forum permissions
• Anonymous posting
• Polls and attachments
• Moderation and pre-moderation
• Forum conversations search
• …

Django-machina was built with integration in mind: the application is designed to be used inside existing Django applications. It is not a standalone forum solution.

Django-machina was built with customization and extensibility in mind: each single functionality of the application can be customized or overriden to accommodate with your needs. In fact, django-machina uses the same techniques as those introduced by the famous django-oscar e-commerce framework to allow powerfull customizations.
