Lincoln's Note:
Howdy stranger, it's been too long.
Vanilla has been hard-forked by Lincoln, one of the original developers.
It's not intended as an ongoing effort, but "one last release" to get you by.
Every locale, plugin, & theme Lincoln could find is bundled herein

It is all now under the AGPLv3.
Do NOT update to this version if you run a hosting service, because
ALL code that touches it must be released. Yes, even your cloud-only plugins.
I must do the same if I ever use it that way — no more "cloud-only" here.

This release:

• Strips HL logos, replacing with the abandoned original Vanilla logo.
• Defaults new installs to the Keystone theme and legacy layouts.
• Strips all references to cloud & fixes compatibility issues with modern PHP.

Notes:

• I'm still working on getting a built release together.
• Today, Docker install works on localhost as-documented.
• Happy to accept pull requests, but no compatibility breaks or major features.
• Bundle is MUCH larger than previously (TONS of SPA cruft + bundled addons).

Old README, lightly edited, follows.
Stay safe, kindle hope, & organize.
