This is a basic forum component that can plug into any existing Django installation and use it's existing templates, users, and admin interface. Perfect for adding forum functionality to an existing website.

Current Status

• Uses Django Admin for maintenance / moderation - no in-line admin features as yet
• Uses existing django Auth and assumes you already have that up and running. I use and recommend django-registration
• Roll your own site with little work: Install Django, install django-registration, flatpages, django-forum, setup your templates and you have an instant website :)
• Code is as pulled out of my other projects - changes will be made as I go to make sure it's as standalone as possible, right now should be pretty good.
