What is DjangoBB?

DjangoBB is a quick and simple forum that uses the Django Framework (written in Python language). The code of the ​PyBB forum, which originator is Gregory Petukhov, was decided to be a basis of the engine. Abbreviation DjangoBB stands for Django Bulletin Board. 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.

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.
