Hi all,

I want to announce a Google App Engine-based forum engine. It is coded
in Python.
It is named GForum, open-source (Apache 2.0. License) and hosted at
http://code.google.com/p/gforum

Live demo is hosted at http://gforum-demo.appspot.com.

How it was born?
Simple. I wanted to add forums to some of my GAE-based sites. I found
no good GAE-based forum engines and decided to make it myself.

What are design guidelines?
Clean and simple. Occam's razor: do with fewer things.

Features for now:
 - login with 5 auth providers: Google, Facebook, Twitter, MyOpenID,
Vkontakte.
 - view forums and threads, write messages
 - view user profiles
 - SEO-friendly permalinks to forums and threads
 - design via themes

Features in progress:
 - edit user profile data
 - edit avatar
 - Gravatar usage

Features to be implemented:
 - pagination
 - paste images or make links to outside images (e.g. at Flickr)
 - i18n
 - automatic sitemap generation
 - private messages for users
 - RSS/ATOM feeds for threads/forums
 - administrator interface

Hope it will be useful to anybody besides me.
Will be glad to any comments/suggestions/contributions.

Regards,
Ivan.
