Misago looks great. Considering using for a production environment. Is that ok?

    I love that Misago uses Django. I'm considering using it for a big community. Are any other sites using it in production?

    Also, hard to make work with MySQL?

    Thanks!

    Hey,

    Using Misago in production is actually answered in our readme ;)

    If you are looking into using Misago to run live forum, you are absolutely invited to, but please keep in mind that Misago is relatively immature software that may contain serious bugs or issues as well as quirks and lackings thay may take time to resolve, despite best efforts.

    Also, hard to make work with MySQL?

    Not worth the efford IMHO. Some features would need reimplementation because they are based on PostgreSQL features (profile fields are on hstore, search is on ts_vector), and other queries and indexes would need to be benchmarked against MySQL's query query planner and execution plans.
