Pinax Tutorial 09/09/09

This document provides a tutorial for building a flash mob dance organizer site using Pinax. It discusses installing Pinax, creating the project, and adding necessary apps like dances and wall. It also addresses how to customize Pinax by adding additional features like a rich text editor, and integrating an outside app called django-wysiwyg to add this capability without forking the core Pinax apps.
