Today it was mentioned on vBulletin.com (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1320195&postcount=123) that new add-ons for vBulletin are currently in Internal testing.
And that a beta program may be starting in a matter of weeks..
What do you think the Add-on's may be? And would you participate in the beta program??

I would anticipate a blog and/or gallery, mainly because Kier has mentioned that he would do a blog a while ago (Chroder would testify to that too as I remember him in that thread :p).
As for a gallery, probably reason there since people do want one, and the fact here is no real gallery option for vBulletin. The current ones aren't up to par of what people are looking for, and in the case of the vBadvanced gallery drama, the only decent option is gone.
A third might actually be a bug tracker as well, since that has also been rumored to be released.
I think that last thing would be a CMS; with the kind of coding and such that needs to be done, I don't think they would have a fully-developed CMS right now... maybe in an alpha state; might be in the next batch of products they release.

Could be Oni,
I am guessing a CMS is in the works, i don/t think it will be a gallery personally.
But there could definately also be a blog released, which would probably end my use of vBa blogicles if that does happen..
I guess we really have no clear hints on what will be released "Not including Kier's hint on the blog".
But you can be sure it will be great quality products, that obviously work seemlessly with vBulletin..
Big question on the board is pricing...

All of these would be great. I like the bugtracker most. The public release of that has been in the air for quite some time, maybe a few years now? I use mantis for my personal bugtracking, but a forum-based bugtracker would be useful, too. Any hey, it's something that's been ready for vB internal use for a while. :D
Most forum-owners though would like the CMS more, I guess... :)

I'm really hoping that you'll be able to beta test them for free (atleast if you have an active vB license). I'd like to try out some of the newer products that they release without having to spend a huge amount of money...though I'm not quite too sure what's going to be released yet :)

First I expect the bug tracker they promised what seems like 10 years ago. That it has taken so long for it to be released is disappointing. I hope it is due to some extras they decided to put in rather then lack of development.
Second is either a CMS or a blog+gallery. One or the other. I would prefer the CMS, but a blog+gallery addon would be welcome too.
- or -
Some modular interface for interacting with users. I want vBulletin to be able to use users from a different source. One of the biggest problems for me when looking at CMSes already on the market is that the users need to register twice.

I agree. The ability to better integrate a site with vB would be cool.
With that in mind some form of Wiki would also be sensational. It is fairly easy to hack something like Media wiki so that it draws it's log-in info from vB, but I doubt most people would be able to do that.
