Haven't been here in a while, but looking through some posts all I see is add-ons being developed and the last release was October last year? Seems to have hit a stop.. Or is it just me?

    it is just you
    every time i come on there seems to be a new addon made
    not every time
    very often

    like yesterday one was made/updated
    today another

    I've already said about the Add-ons, I love people reading. :)

    I'm on about Vanilla core.
  • skubeskube
    AFAIK, the main developer has handed over the reins for others to maintain and update the core. I don't think he has plans to really update Vanilla significantly. Though there have been faint whispers of Vanilla 2...
  • HamedHamed
    who whispers....
    awesome
    maybe there would be that new whisper feature ....
    it would be soo cool

    it would be awesome
    vanilla 2.1.4

    That's rather the point of Vanilla, isn't it? Plain core, users add the features they want with add-ons?

    Mark has plans for Vanilla 2. There's just nothing decided yet. Check his blog.
  • ChrisGwynneChrisGwynne ✭
    To a certain extent squirrel, but when you have Mark talking about "Vanilla 2" at that talk is months and months ago, then it makes you wonder about the state of progress.

    There is rather question: "where do we want Vanilla to go to?"

    Months and months ago? This blog entry is dated from December 4th, 2007, which makes, err, less than two months ago. Maybe I would be worried if it was 2006...

    Vanilla core seems particularly stable. I think the reason most of the development is happening on add-ons, because that is where the work needs to be done.

    Does vanilla need to go anywhere?

    Has everyone who wants Vanilla to go somewhere made a donation?

    I'm with Mini. The Vanilla Core is perfectly stable, bug-free and extremely extensible.
    If Vanilla lacks a feature, you can make an extension and add it.

    There's nothing wrong with it at all. No need to 'go' anywhere.
  • HamedHamed
    that is true

    Needs a Calendar Add-on...
  • skubeskube
    Definitely needs a calendar Add-on!
  • HamedHamed
    so when did they start the calender addon?

    I agree with much of what Mark has to say about Vanilla 2, but what would it mean for Vanilla to "go the way of social networking sites"? I admit I'm not into social networking sites, so I'm not sure what he means.
