- 20. What seems the biggest shame to me is that everyone is currently rebuilding this stuff over and over again and rationalizing it as some sort of secret sauce competitive advantage when it’s really infrastructure - stuff that really should be standardized so you can actually get around to doing the new and interesting stuff. — Leonard Lin http://randomfoo.net/2009/01/28/infrastructure-for-modern-web-sites
- 21. Your Project the trade off: Pinax how much to fix? how much to make configurable? how much to leave Django completely to site developer?

- 27. • blocks • sets • themes
- 28. Pinax IS Django
- 29. Pinax IS NOT Django
- 30. “Pinax is opinionated so Django doesn’t have to be”
- 31. “PINAX: Even more opinionated than Django”
- 32. Milestones • 0.5.0 — October 2008 • 0.5.1 — January 2009 • 0.7beta1— April 2009 (485) • 0.7beta2 — April 2009 (58) • 0.7beta3 — July 2009 (445) • 0.7rc1— September 2009 (291)
- 33. 1271 commits 343 tickets closed between 0.5 and 0.7 (not counting external apps)
- 34. Features in 0.5 • openid support • interest groups (called tr ibes) • email ver ification • password management • projects with basic task and issue management • site announcements • threaded discussions • a notification fr amewor k • wikis • user-to-user messaging with multiple mar kup suppor t • fr iend invitation • blogging (both inter nal and exter nal to the site) • bookmar ks • a basic twitter clone • tagging • oembed suppor t • contact impor t • gr avatar suppor t (from vCard, Google or Yahoo) • photo management
- 35. 0.5 Structure • external apps • all on Google Code (SVN) • half written independently of Pinax • local apps • libraries (batteries included) • two sample projects • path hacking
- 41. 0.7 Release • translation removal • locations • frontend-admin and generic flat-blocks • account and group improvements • new task app • uni-form and Section 508 • better shared templates and media • more sample projects (and complete renamed social) • virtualenv and pip • pinax is now a package
- 42. New Account App • turn OpenID on/off • turn sign up on/off • waiting list • invite only / private beta • token-based password reset • (resend signup email confirmation) • (use email for login)
- 43. you signed up for admin initiated each user has fixed user can invite beta account number to hand out anyone admin sent code user invited you general code unique invite just go to site (type in) (email link) have code external auth username / password username signup (no password) SIGNED UP
- 44. New Group App • Don’t Repeat Yourself! • endo vs exo • group apps versus content apps • membership app
- 49. Shared Templates and Media • look up: • project • pinax new level (multiple themes) • app • media build command • ship with famfamfam silk icons
- 50. Problems with 0.5 structure • it largely relies on external dependencies being in svn and this is increasingly not the case (although it was when Pinax started) • it makes it difficult for Pinax itself to move away from svn • there is no management of dependencies between external dependencies, nor between particular projects in Pinax and their individual dependencies
- 51. virtualenv and pip • encourage externals apps to be distutils- compliant • pip for package install (at least during development) • optional “batteries included” release • virtualenv to provide isolation, remove need for path hacking and just because it kicks ass
