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 Grigoriy 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.

"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.
