When I first encountered bbcode, I had actually learned a little HTML prior to that. I was baffled to find that I was not allowed to use basic HTML to format my post, but rather a modified syntax that served the exact same results. Today, my greatest annoyance with with bbcode is that, though to smaller extent than wiki syntax, it is not identical to every forum software. Sometimes I make press releases that need to be posted on several forums, yet the slight differences in syntax forces me to make 4-5 different versions, all thanks to trivial differences.

I hate bbcode, most non-geeks probably are not big fans of it either, so unless your bbpress is going to be mainly for tech and geeks forums.. I really really like the idea of having a team of a couple of people to update plugins! Wish I could help, I am still learning php.. Would absolutely be thrilled to have the ability to attach files, documents, and pictures! Aren't there some themes out there that have code that let you add links and bold and such at the comment form? - the very basic stuff - like a tiny, tinymc? Couldn't we at least give a few buttons: add hyperlink, bold, italic, attach file. These two simple things would make bbpress and buddypress worth using. Well those and a photo gallery plugin - lol. I installed bbpres on two domains in the past 7 days - looking forward to the revival. Not everyone knows, or wants to learn bbcode.. everyone can use tinymc.. my 2 cents.

I agree that you will need to work on the admin side a bit before implementing anonymous posting. Maybe take some of the best ideas from Nightgunner's Moderation Suite and ck's old "Move It" plugin. Overall, I'm a little worried about the state of plugins for v1.0. While I've moved one of my forums to v1.0, I have decided to leave two forums at 0.9 until plugins catch up. Perhaps a small team can be assigned to update existing plugins, especially those that were abandoned by their authors. Thanks for making these logs available.

Anyway, there's always this for the die-hards: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbcode/ which, if bbPress becomes a plugin, shouldn't be TOO hard to port :) Anonymous posting scares me too! I have open comments on my blog, but you have to have one approved comment first. On a forum, I'd rather lock it down to make people accountable, since they can start topics as well as reply.
