Funny thing is, in 'Encounter at Farpoint', Data says he graduated from
Starfleet in '78.... Which would place that in I think 2278. 2378 would
be really silly in the light of 2364 mentioned by Geordi in a later episode.
If 2278 is true, for that episode, than I think that their first inkling
was to set TNG around 2300.
I have somewhere in my collection (I don't remember the exact title) a
guide to the history of ships named 'Enterprise', with a timeline that
shifts the now 'official' timeline some 60 years into the past. Which
better suits what was going on in TOS.
And if I'm not mistaken the text on the cover of the TMP novel states
that it is set at the beginning of the 23d century. (the German language
version of Star Trek (TOS) (Raumschiff Enterprise) says it is in the
year 2200).
So, sadly there was a shift of over half a century.
