creating pages, like pages of a webpage. I'm not really sure how to explain it other than that. Wordpress and joomla support page creation if that helps any. while single sign on is cool, and i do understand and respect the need for a multiplatform authentication solution like SSO. i'd much rather use one central application/platform that supports both, and this seems to be an accepted concept throughout the web community. Wordpress is integrating with bbpress, buddypress, and WPMU. Drupal has built in forum functionality in addition to the cms. Joomla has plugins for forum solutions.

Besides, I think vanilla can improve upon the current bloging and cms solutions.

i agree @Raize, im still looking forward to some clarification from this thread
http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/10498/naming-conventions-core-cleanup-your-thoughts/#Item_74

because if technically someone can install "vanilla" and not use the forums portion of the software, seems sorta funny for the project to be called "vanilla forums" when the forums are considered to be a addon/application.

I remember @Mark talking about having some wiki ideas, and I cant tell but i think this, http://vanillaforums.org/docs#TableOfContents ... is running some form of a wiki application off of vanilla. So maybe this will be released soon.

@Stash
but this isnt to say there isnt something already in the works, right?

Obviously the forum aspect of Vanilla is the main priority right now but @[-Stash-] is right, there's no reason why someone can't create a Blog type application for Garden that would integrate with Vanilla. That would be the life...
