**Development Status: Pre-Alpha**

Misago aims to be complete, featured and modern forum solution that has no fear to say 'NO' to common and outdated opinions about how forum software should be made and what it should do.

If you can run Python apps on your hosting and you are looking for modern solution using latest paradigms in web development, or you are Django developer and forum is going to be core component of your next project then Misago is option for you!

Installing and updating
-----------------------

Please note that branch *future* is used for project's codebase cleanup and is not functional at the time of this writing. If you want to give Misago a spin, feel free to play with one of `previous releases `_.

To install Misago setup and activate virtual environment and then fire following commands::

python setup.py install
misago-start.py testforum

Those commands will install Misago in your virtual environment and make pre-configured Misago site for you named "testforum" using "misago-start.py" script available successfull installation.

Now cd test forum and fire runserver command using manage.py::

cd testforum
python manage.py runserver

If server starts, you should be able to visit 127.0.0.1:8000 in your browser and see simple placeholder response from Misago, however as work on this branch is underway revisions may frequently introduce changes that will break runserver.
