Post- TNG/DS9/VOY. And I do mean POST. This show will be set probably about 100 years AFTER TNG.
Mike Okuda and many production people from TNG/DS9/ and VOY have already signed on for the new series, including Zimmerman.
We will see a future USS Enterprise -- Paramount was so insistent on this one factor that they shot down any pitch by Berman that did NOT take place on a starship Enterprise (and there were quite a few).
The Starship is being designed by John Eaves, who co-designed the Enterprise-E. The nacelles will be tucked into the ship -- think along the lines of the Defiant, or the Relativity- (as an example), from VOY.
Remember that pre-TOS character list floating around? That's essentially correct, except the names are wrong. They're looking for actors who match those descriptions, although the characters they play won't be the ones said on that list. For example, "Sub-Commander T'Pau" will really be a Romualan officer aboard the ship.
The show begins filming in late April to early May, and will begin airing in the fall of 2001.

The only thing I could possibly wrong about is the time period, but I don't think I am.

So in other words, here is what we really know:
It may or may not be set in the past. It may or may not be set in the future. It may or may not be set aboard a ship named Enterprise. It may or may not be called Star Trek.

All I can say is... I still think they should wait about 5 years for more Trek.

Um ... if the show was to begin filming in late April or early May, that would still give them a month to rip down the VOY sets and finish new set construction. More than enough time.

I quite liked the Relativity and Defiant, and the fact that it will be on an Enterprise makes me happy no matter which one it is. It's far better than the other ideas I've heard so far. I might decide to show you soem renderings of a ship that i've been designing.(if it doesn't look too bad )

I dunno about the time it takes to strike and rebuilt sets, unless they're going the cheap way and just redressing lots of them. Remember, the TNG sets kept the original TMP/Phase II basic sets for Engineering, Sickbay, transporter room, small quarters, and corridors. Who knows if the Voyager sets will be similarly recycled.

Well, if it's set on an Enterprise and it's not a prequel (I'm still praying that it's not) we run into several problems.
A) It's going to have to be at least several decades in the future to allow for more TNG movies with the Ent E.
B) If it's too far in the future, we lose the sense of continuing story that has been established by having three overlapping series and there's this huge gap, just like between TOS and TNG. If it's an Ent-F and it's too close to our own timeline, we run into the possibility of knowing what happens to the TNG crew and ship before they're done making movies, not to mention the need for the movies to be written within the bounds of the new series continuity.
C) It's just TNG all over again. New Enterprise, new crew, SOS.
On the other hand...maybe it's an alternate future/history Enterprise...
