## Pinax

[Pinax](http://pinaxproject.com/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 app is part of the Pinax ecosystem and is designed for use both with and independently of other Pinax apps.

## pinax-announcements

Announcements have title and content, with options for filtering their display:

• publish_end - date/time or none

pinax-announcements has three options for dismissing an announcement:

• DISMISSAL_NO - always visible
