Jason I have been planning to use Pinax for a large social network site, but your comments make me concerned (and wondering if I should wait for a 1.0 release). I'd appreciate it if you could be a bit more specific about the issues you have encountered or know about.
I assume that Django itself (being mature and stable) is not the problem. Given that Pinax is essentially just a bundle of third party apps, are the problems with: (a) one or more of the specific apps themselves? (b) the way that one or more of the apps interact? (c) only the sample data / demos? Also, the great strength of successful open source projects is the interaction between developers and community. What has the response been when you have communicated these issues to them ... do they not care? do they respond at all?
