Vanilla for discussion doesn't sound bad. Here are my concerns, though
(I don't know much about the Vanilla core, do excuse me if anything
sounds too trivial):
o Does Vanilla generate static HTML files? If not, it could be a problem.
o From what I see, it doesn't have a threaded comment system. Bad.
o Lacks RSS/Atom feeds (correct me if I'm wrong)
Moreover, I don't know how the weblog format would suit a discussion
which would eventually have many users. Any examples of relatively
large projects using this format?
