PyCon 2008:The Birth of Tabula Rasa
If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders.
Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.
– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
build a dummy site to guidedevelopment of apps
Tony Hauber’sSummer of Code
PinaxSo far it's just my new django-email-confirmation app tied together with password change and reset, login/logout, with the beginnings of a tab-style UI. There's a ton more I want to refactor out of my existing websites to put into it as well as adding support for OpenID and the stuff I'm starting to do for django-friends.
Even if one doesn't use Pinax as the starting point of a website, I'm hoping it will prove very useful for another goal, namely a "host" project to develop and tryout reusable apps.

...and 1,000 users on the demo site
It is becoming clear that what was originally intended to be a demo site is a useful site in its own right, irrespective of whether you care or even know about the Pinax platform underlying it. So it will be moving over to a new site with a new identity soon.

Optional Apps
should really rely on INSTALLED_APPS not path!
we wanted to be part of the reason people upgraded to 1.0, not one of the reasons people didn't need to
