Django Forum Apps Comparison

Yvan Seth's blog entry Django Forum Software from December 2007 lists a few well-known discussion forum applications for Django. This page continues on the same tracks and tries to gather a comparison of essential features in those applications.

Hover the mouse pointer over the column headings and * symbols for verbose descriptions.

This page was originally created by akaihola. There's a django-users thread about this page. I'll update information posted on that thread to this page.

Comments

Jonathan Buchanan: django-discussion is not actively maintained or developed at this time (parts of it were extracted into Django MPTT) – django-threadedcomments looks like a more complete and feature-rich implementation of the type of functionality it provided, so I've removed discussion and put threadedcomments in its place.

To do

Ideas for making this page better:

  • come up with a better UI than mouse hover for the verbose descriptions
  • add column for supported Django versions/revisions/branches
Note: See TracWiki for help on using the wiki.
