I've been customizing wordpress themes for a while now and I've just started getting into bbpress. Since I've been using these two so often, I really want to give something back. I don't really have money or coding skills to contribute, I was hoping maybe I could help by coming up with a shiny cool template/theme that could possibly be included as one of the default themes. I've only just begun to figure out theming in bbpress, but I really want to contribute something, and design skills is what I got(i think :D). All I'd need is to possibly be informed on new features or functions that I could design for. I could come up with cool mock-ups, and if the community likes it, I could chop it up into a theme.

I believe that, the ole' Bulletin Board is the backbone of the Internet and that BBpress is the best example of an extremely light, elegant system. BBpress is my fave and i've followed the trac from day one. In fact, I'd even go on a personal crusade to get the new JQuery forums off of zoho and onto BBpress. I'd like to re-emphasize this http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/future-of-bbpress#post-60022 and the importance of forums throughout the wp family. +1 to Ron_R "What I would like to do with bbPress is make it a canonical plugin to ensure its longevity and continued development." And like the previous commenters, I think the codex is the best place to start.

So I don't mind building the codex for bbpress. It's a needed feature. And should be like WP's.

I'll see you in the meet Wednesday.

My name is Dan Milward and I'd like to help. I've always yearned for a better bbPress + WordPress integration. Ages ago when we integrated bbPress on our site I thought it would be cool to make a shortcode to run bbpress or significant portions of it from WordPress.

This is how we want to contribute - by doing this.
Skills are advanced.

Best,
Dan

I'm an enthusiast of all things WordPress and would love to help out if I can.

Being unemployed right now, I've definitely got some TIME.

My php/javascript skills are kind of entry level, my html/css skills are fairly advanced. That being said, I'd love to get my hands dirty with the code end of things and I'm more than willing to do any testing that's necessary or write up some documentation.

Just point me at a problem and I'll get to work.

I've been programming (or teaching it) for a living for 20+ years. I wrote my first few plugins for WordPress in 2005 and started working with WordPress MU in early 2006. The merged WP/WPMU codebase I mentioned in October can be downloaded here: http://wpmututorials.com/hacks/community-service/. More recently, I developed buddymatic which was one of the demos in the theme plugin/competition at WordCamp NYC. I also have a sharded database plugin for MU (based on HyperDB) which will be released this month. The database plugin itself is done and in use on production installs. I'm currently working on a site admin tool for migrating an install from a single database to the sharded structure.

Buddymatic is great illustration of what I do best: approach problems & solutions from an unusual angle. (For other people reading the thread Buddymatic is a port of Thematic that has the BuddyPress theme functionality embedded in it that auto detects whether BP is active.) What I would like to do with bbPress is make it a canonical plugin. IMO, that's the way to ensure its longevity and continued development.

Anyway, I would suggest that you have a look at one great Forum-software and another great Forum-application. You might get some ideas from it which might help you to build a much better Forum-software.

I am glad to hear that an effort is being made into ensuring the continuity (and maturing) of bbPress.

If I could, I would help out a lot where I could. Unfortunately, I'm still in the learning phase with PHP and MySQL. This as I learn by experience.

In the long-term however, I would like to help out as much as I can. I do have a strong taste for interface design, and new ideas.

I've always said to myself that forum software seems to be all the same, from brand to brand. Already, bbPress is defying that. bbPress has a lot to offer, and I'd like to extend it somewhat.

In my case, I have released a development community forum (http://www.inniosoft.co.cc/devstation) using bbPress - so that shows one thing. Many people have different purposes for using forum software. With my community (which is still small - it's new) I wish that it would be more socially interactive. I am in the middle of writing a plugin that will make user-profiles more interactive (ie Status updates, etc). In the long term, I'd like to cater for that kind of thing. Bringing new things into bbPress that don't seem to exist any any other forum software. Of course, in this case, my idea would only be useful for those using bbPress as a standalone package (ie without integrating it with WPMU and BuddyPress).

I can see that bbPress will ba amazing software one day - competing with the likes on vBulletin and phpBB. If anything, I'd love to be involved with getting it there.

I have an offline monthly fiction writers group I run, who coordinate via a bbPress forum. Administration of that's been a breeze, and I can think of no better forum software to use. So I've had experience simply administering a bbPress installation (admittedly with only a couple of dozen active users).

I've been creating custom themes & plugins for bbPress for a while for my own enjoyment, aiming to bend the software into new and interesting places. For instance

  1. making a very "blog-like" theme giving strong emphasis to opening posts with all replies looking like comments & discussion of the opening post
  2. writing and enhanced form of the RSS portion of the site to use bbPress as a super-flexible podcast hosting site generating iTunes compatible feeds
  3. Forum specific theming (a gaming site who wants an "XBox theme" active for certain forums, a "W.o.W theme" in others, etc)
  4. creating a fine-grained access control mechanism for forum/topic/board ownership and read/write privilages (to support separation of gaming forum admin, and multiple podcasters for 2 instances of its use)

Prior to hacking on the bbPress codebase, plugins and themes I lived in WordPress land - themes and plugins - using it for blogs, CMS and podcast hosting.

I write HTML/CSS/PHP for pleasure. Java/XML/etc is the day-job.

So I can certainly babysit the code base if you need someone to oversee BBPress for a day per week or so.

It *would* be much more appropriate if CK and Sam were around, however. My understanding is CK got pissed. Where is Sam at?

I have done a couple of BBPress implementations alongside wordpress, mainly theming and small tweaks, but it's fair to say at the moment my main knowledge is based around WordPress theme and plugin development.

Happy to contribute in any way, wether it's minor core patches, front end design/coding, or just adding documentation to a codex etc.

I mentioned in another topic here that bbPress needs a Codex, so I'm all for volunteering some of my time to work on documenting functions and such. I'd even help out with some inline documentation of the code too (though I'm not as familiar with it as WP).

Most of the work I've done with bbPress is for my own use here:

I've been promoting bbPress in all the other forums I participate in. Love the product and would love to help out in any capacity I could.

I work for myself as a web publisher. I'm a developer at heart (Computer Engineer), but I mostly do community management and marketing these days.

Would not even know where to begin in regards to where I could help. I would like to see the product get a bit more mainstream usage. Every forum I bring it up in or recommend it, no one seems to know anything about it. I find myself sticking up for it against the big hitters like vBulletin, etc. Perhaps a volunteer marketing/advocate role might be useful... ;-)

Max

I am a twenty–something designer who profoundly enjoys creating efficient and elegant websites, with abilities focused in CSS/XHTML, WordPress/bbPress theming and Photoshop. I also have a great interest in writing. My portfolio.

I would like to be part of developing documentation regarding theme functions: something in which WordPress excels at and which further allows designers to work more fluently. As a theme designer I often had to explore bbPress core files looking for functions and their behavior in order to develop a site. This was done mostly through trial and error due to the lack of a function reference document. Then maybe even contributing with more quality themes or a restyle of bbPress while also promoting the development of things like P2 in WordPress to show the range of possibilities of bbPress. As a reference, you might register in this website I created to check how some aspects of bbPress were enhanced through theming (encouraging posting by displaying it more prominently though non obtrusive) for a particular project.
