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.
