Public Distribution

We've had a busy year, not just building Vanilla, but we're finally streamlining the codebase and squishing those inevitable cross-browser bugs (*cough* Internet Explorer *cough*).  We're also currently working on setting up a demo installation at a separate domain so folks can test-drive Vanilla in various controlled environments.  This should be ready by summer 2010 with a view to an official launch and 'in the wild' distribution by autumn.  We're doing this in order to try and release the most bug-free product possible.

We also need to finalise testing on the latest incarnations of Safari and Opera.

A Word on Licensing

We're also receiving a growing number of enquiries regarding the licensing schema that'll be attached to Vanilla.  We've thought long and hard about this and at this moment in time - and as Vanilla is still strictly in a beta state - we're only offering hosted solutions in order to keep an eye on things and iron out creases that may occur in a production environment.  There are also a few extra features that we intend to bundle into the core distribution (verbose logging, database restoration, a discrete blog and social networking plugin to name the main ones).

When released, Vanilla will be a paid-for, licensed product - there will not be a free or open source version (at least not for the foreseeable future).
