Licence Hello, I think the current licence situation for django-socialauth is quite unsatisfying http://github.com/uswaretech/Django-Socialauth/issues#issue/16 Note, I am saying this because I'm quite delighted about Dinette and thus django-socialauth. I was looking for a Django based forum for quite a while now but none of the existing ones so far convinced ...

There is one major disadvantage I can think of with threaded replies, Its very hard to get the UI right which works with large posts. The only places where I have seen this succesfully being used, reddit.com, news.ycombinator.com etc are 1. Not primarily a forum. 2. Work with small posts.

At work right now we're building a Django app (completely unrelated to forums, else I'd be able to sneak in some work hours to help contribute to this in addition to at-home time :)) that's had several UI revisions (hefty ones) ... and we haven't released the actual product yet :) The bummer is I can't think of any sites that do this just yet. That could mean "nobody's thought of it" but it could also mean "people have tried it, and it turns out it really sucks." So I'll ...

Threading in Dinette I got a message from [url=http://willfe.com]William Ferrell[/url], with a feature request for thtreaded replies. I am not particularly keen on it, but would like to discuss, if this should be a good feature for Dinette to have? Will's message copied from the blog follows. ------------------------- Just following ...
