Vanilla - Web 2.0 or Classic?

The first post about the Vanilla forum caused a rather large resonance in the habrasoobschestve. This time we will not surprise people so much. We will continue to discuss vanilla.
Judging by the reviews, many people are interested in the forum, but complained that there was too little information, for example, the same description of Vanilla additions, assemblies and the purpose of the Russian community . There is practically no information about vanilla in RuNet, so we will try to fix it a little.
As mentioned earlier , the main advantage of Vanilla is its modularity. Depending on your needs, you can build exactly the kind of forum you need. Moreover, in this case, some modules are functional enough to call them plug-ins in the usual sense of the word.
We are building Vanilla in 2 most general directions - a classic forum and a web2.0 version . We will not describe all the additions included in the assemblies - each of them is described in the community forum, and here we give a comparative description of the assemblies.

Also, the assemblies are similar in some basic additions and differ in a number of minor ones that are difficult to attribute clearly to any of the directions, and they can be installed if desired. Naturally, the division into directions is conditional, this is done more for convenience during testing, more experienced users will still do something different from the forum.
In general, Vanilla offers a fairly convenient approach to the organization of the forum, and we try to draw your attention to this.
So welcome.
