django forum

[dijxtra]

Is there a free robust django forum app? Or more precisely, a free and
robust forum app which uses django.contrib.auth for authentication?

Or should I just try out those several projects enabling django to
access phpBB's user info and use phpBB3?

There's django-forum and a couple of others (google them). I'm also
working on a forum system in django which I plan to release one day. But
at the moment I fear it's too unstable and coupled to other parts of my app.

I really did google before asking on the list :-D Yeah, anyway, thank
you very much, after some more googling I found this gem:

Thanks for the pointer.

There are many that seem to be in progress. Not mentioned on the
Django wiki [1] is DjangoBB [2].

The quality and functionality seem to vary wildly. Ultimately I
decided to write my own. With the tools that Django provides, it
really isn't that hard (much to my surprise). I wanted some features
that the other projects didn't have, but more importantly I want to
know how it works, and for my hobby site, rolling my own was the best
course of action for me. YMMW of course.

Looking at the demo, I think that is the best Python forum I've ever
seen. Congrats. This would be my site's saving grace.

However, I installed all the necessary programs, and I get "Cannot
import name utils" from djapian. If you ever read this again, perhaps
you could help with that?

Demo? Are you referring to a demo of the http://djangobb.org/ ?
If so, please add a link for this.

Strike what I said above. It's fixed.
