Pinax: overkill for my requirements?

[Alec Taylor]

Good evening,

Of all the functionality listed on the Pinax homepage, I only require
the following:

- account management {openid, e-mail verification, password management}
- profiles
- notifications

And from the ecosystem page:

- anafero
- dialogos or aiteo
- django-announcements
- django-flag
- django-oauth-access
- django-reminders
- django-timezones
- django-wakawaka
- mailout
- maturion
- metron
- phileo

If installing Pinax wouldn't be overkill, which starter project should
I build from?

I will be integrating with Satchmo.

Thanks for all suggestions,

Alec Taylor

It wouldn't be overkill at all to use Pinax. All you are really installing when you install Pinax itself is a few utilities and account-related apps (and even those will likely be broken off at some point). Even if you didn't need account management, there's zero_project. In short: there is no Django-based project for which Pinax would be overkill.

But on to your specific needs. Given you want profiles and notifications in addition to account management, I'd start with basic_project.
