I also keep meaning to look at Pinax but I was rather put off by the apparent focus on social apps (in which I don't currently have much of an interest). I would like to see a some documentation about their proposed standard architecture. Does this exist other than in the current source code?
Currently there seems to be rather too-many-ways-to-do-it in Django as regards integrating apps into a site so the more documented conventions we get the better. I'm currently forming bad habits of my own and not reading enough of other people's source code!
