After watching their two talks and playing around with the code I'm quite impressed with their system. In about 20 minutes I actually re- implemented the entire site in pinax (and I may do the same with some of my other projects). At this point I'm not above throwing out my crummy code if something better comes along ;). It certainly implements all of the "social features" that I was scratching my head about. All I really need to do is create a hook for rendering the arbitrary templates.
