Talk:Vanilla (forum)

Untitled
WTF? This Wikipedia entry reads like free advertising for the hosted Vanilla Forum service, particularly the section "Features" which mostly talks about the commercial service, not the free product. I expected information about the open source edition of Vanilla Forum, i.e. the free product, not the commercial business behind it. 178.83.239.67 (talk) 15:35, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Keep, But Edit
Value: This article quickly answered a lot of head-scratching questions I had about Vanilla.

Notability: Vanilla apparently manages half-a-million forums worldwide, it is independently recognized as a significant player.

Writing: Poor, self-promotional in some places. Edit. ("Delete and make them rewrite from scratch" is a terrible policy, it's easier to prune than plant a whole new tree.)

Funded by...
It is quite normal in an encyclopedia, whether in a portal, or not, to mention all aspect of the entry.

Like many OS project Vanilla is partly funded by SaaS, which is the hosted solution.

I think on balance it now mentions the OS Vanilla in good measure.

I should point out anything not distributed the licence is moot. It is only some licences like AGPL that say otherwise.

So Vanilla is an open source code base funded by a non-distributed implementation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.115.115.202 (talk) 15:18, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
