## The basic concept of the forum progress is:

 * the usage of various DBMS (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQLite)

 * the ease of integration into any Django project and the ease of installation

 * the usage of standard libraries for launching on conventional hostings with python support

 * user-friendly installation process

 * classic view of the forum like IPB, PhpBB, Punbb

 * easy forum setup

 * high speed

 * reliability

At the current stage of development the main object is the functional implementation of the PunBB forum, in the sequel it is projected to expand it significantly.

[phpBB3 to DjangoBB](https://github.com/jedie/django-phpBB3) ''unofficial''

## "Why another forum?"

As far`as we are concerned, there is no usable engine written in Django. In our humble opinion, existing implementations are too simple and have little function.
