+== What is DjangoBB? ==
+
+DjangoBB is a quick and simple forum that uses the Django Framework (written in Python language). 
+The code of the [http://pybb.org/ PyBB forum], which originator is Gregory Petukhov, was decided to be a basis of the engine.
+Abbreviation DjangoBB stands for '''Django''' '''B'''ulletin '''B'''oard.
+DjangoBB is distributed under the BSD license.
+
+
+== The basic concept of the forum progress is: ==
+
+ * usage of various DBMS (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQLite)
+ * ease of integration into any Django project and ease of installation
+ * usage of standard libraries for launching on conventional hostings with python support
+ * easy installation process accessible to an average user
+ * classic view of the forum like IPB, PhpBB, Punbb
+ * easy forum setup
+ * high speed
+ * security
+
+At this stage of development the chief object is a functional implementation of the PunBB forum, in the sequel it is projected to expand it significantly.
+
+
+== User Support ==
+'''English Version:'''
+[http://djangobb.org/forum/ http://djangobb.org/forum/]
+
+'''Russian Version:'''
+[http://djangobb.org/forum/ http://djangobb.ru/forum/]
+
+
+== Migration from other forum engines: ==
+
+Unfortunately at the moment only migration from PunBB engine is supported. You can expand the list. If you have a script which can help to migrate from any other forum engine, please send it to us.
+     
+For a migration you should run the following command:
+
+'''PunBB:'''
+
+{{{
+python manage.py import_punbb
+}}}
+
+
+== "Why another forum?" ==
+
+We consider at the moment there is no usable engine written in Django, existing implementations are too simple and have little function.
