Hi, Can you compare pinax and rails? I am a programming beginner. I wanted to build a social network site. I got a hold of the RailsSpace book a couple of months ago and got really excited about Ruby on Rails. Now I just heard of Pinax and the sample there is also social networking site. I am not going to switch anytime soon since I have spent a lot of time becoming proficient in RoR. However, I am just curious about the advantages and disadvantages of Pinax compared to RoR. Perhaps, at some point in the future, I may consider switching to Pinax if it''s a superior framework to build a social networking site. I am surprised that I couldn''t find any any comparision online. Pinax is not mentioned on wikipedia. Thanks.

From a quick look at the website, Pinax is not a generic application framework like Rails, but is rather a platform built on top of Django. In that sense, its closest analog in the Ruby world might be something like Hobo, or at least a template like Blank or Bort. But I think most Rails developers would rather choose a set of plugins based on the needs of the individual project.
