Pinax Progress II
Yesterday I reported that we'd added the following to Pinax in the last 24 hours:
- user profile pages
- gravatars
- user-to-user messages (via django-messages)
- announcements (a new app, django-announcements)
- OpenID support
- invitations to join
Well, in the last 24 hours we've added to that:
- translations into German, Spanish and Swedish
- a new design / logo
- auto-completion on message recipient field
- a basic Twitter clone
- OEmbed support in tweets
- the beginnings of tribes (i.e. groups)
I could not have hoped for a more productive weekend!
Earlier in the day I did a rough count purely based on file-size and estimated that Pinax is:
- 63% re-usable apps;
- 10% local app;
- 13% templates;
- 8% localization;
- 5% media;
- 1% util
which bodes well for the original goal of Pinax: to jump-start some reusable Django apps.

Pinax seems like a great platform, but why Gravatars? It's way too complicated, and seems like the kind of thing that should be an option, but not a requirement to getting a user picture up. Gravatars don't even support three letter names like "tom" as well.
Cheers,

I have the same opinion:
This gravatar stuff is neighter customable nor comfortable (register a second time...)
Despite of that, I'm amazed of the possibilities of that framework.
