Vanilla is a lightweight Internet forum package written in the PHP scripting language using the Garden framework. The software is released under the GNU GPL.〔 Vanilla Forums is free software, standards-compliant, customizable discussion forums. Since 2009 there is also a cloud-hosted version (offered by Vanilla). Vanilla's open source project was released on 1 July 2006, and has since undergone many changes; the most notable being the complete rewrite between Vanilla 1 and Vanilla 2, the latter of the two became the primary product and Vanilla 1 was passed into the hands of other developers. Vanilla is designed to bring forums back to their roots, providing core functionality with additional features such as emoticons available as plugins.〔(【引用サイトリンク】last=Gunter )〕 ==Business model== Vanilla 1 is unfunded, and supported by other developers, it is not supported by the original core team. Vanilla 2 is currently funded in part by a custom, non-distributed hosted implementation of the software run as a commercial SaaS, by Vanilla Forums, Inc. offering various plans with support options.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Another Look at Vanilla: Online Communities Reinvented )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Designing A Hosting Platform Around High Availability, Low Cost )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Booting the jerks from discussion forums )〕 Plans offer many features from the open source version with additional premium add-ons supported by the core team.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Difference between self-hosted vanilla vs Vanilla hosted )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vanilla Forums」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
