vanilla is used as a reference to the standard un-MODded version(s) of phpBB as supplied by us - it's not a name as such.

As for why that word, it's probably because the standard falvour of things like ice cream is vanilla :D

mmmmmmmmm icecream... *drools*

I'm liking the new dev version of phpBB so far, and I think renaming it 3.0 is a good idea.

hmm, codename "Olympus" ?
do you mean that we'll see "Powered by Olympus 3.0" at the bottom of the board ? (so the name of "phpBB" will be abandoned ? )
OR
"Olympus" is just the codename when under development ?

Well if your naming scheme is "mountains on Mars" and you start with the largest for v3 then there isn't much room for manouvering ;)

I went with Olympus because as I said to the teams ... "It's been one hell of a hill to climb" :)

Does this mean your waiting for a bigger mountain for phpBB 4.0? Why did you drop mons?

Just to get back to topic...
Will we see some screenshots of olympus?
Will there be a new roadmap? (ok feb/march for beta - but there were lots of announcements like this for 2.2)

I'm asking this.. not because i'm one of those "Icantwaittotest" guys.. but because i was going to start programming a big project based on 2.011. Having to "mod" many features. As i understand some features will be included in olympus.. I can wait a month or 2 before I beginn.. but as my deadline is 15th of august.. i can't start doing it in june or july.. it would be far to late.
