bbPress plugin September 15?

    • Posted 1 year ago #

    @ _ck_

    And how once I had hope for bbPress, it seems like that hope dead with 0.9 some 3 years ago :(

    _ck_, I'll definitely make a donation, if you were to pick back up 0.9 and run with it. Fix the known bugs in 0.9 and add in native page (front page & topic) caching for non-logged in users.

    I'll donate $100. Seriously.

    I've been side tracked with BuddyPress bugs and paying work, so don't expect anything official for a week or two. I have a few projects coming up fast that will need this working so while I'm missing my soft Sept 15 deadline, I don't think it will be /too/ far off.

    Sorry to disappoint, it's no fun... and thanks for your patience with me and it.

    For the record, I love bbPress. I have a few commits going into 1.1, and I have every intention of making bbPress be the best it can be as a WordPress plugin.

    Regarding my motivation and priority, it's to make great forum software that fits inside WordPress; nothing more and nothing less.

    Regarding why I was able to step into this role, it's because our peers believe I am capable, and I am willing to dedicate time and effort towards it getting it done.

    Regarding any possible benefit BuddyPress might see, is a welcome bonus but not a priority. BuddyPress/bbPress processing times should decrease with BuddyPress 1.2.6, as a few tweaks have been made and a bug or two have been patched in that regard. Even still, nothing compares to the blazing fast speed of bbPress by itself, even in the slower 1.x branch.

    Regarding everything else, I'm just here to write the best code I can, help make bbPress a great WordPress plugin, and have fun doing it all. So far, so good on my end. :)

    Feature request: Import from bbPress (should be coming) and Simple:Press. Thank you.

    Thanks for the update John. I'll admit I had already adjusted my expectations. Here's the thing about transparent development and deadlines though: It's fine to set deadlines, but when you're getting a strong sense that you won't make it, say so.

    I would have preferred checking in yesterday or the day before that to find "bbPress pre-release deadline post-poned". Instead I came in today with just a tiny bit of hope, but we all know how that ended.

    @_ck_ The "hijacking" comment was all kinds of 'too far', 'out of context' and plain false. I have a lot of respect for you and share a lot of your opinions about the bbP project, but right now you are truly on the verge of trolling.

    JJJ, I think everyone sincerely appreciates your work and dedication. I have been looking forward to the BBpress plugin, but I think it is pretty understood Sept 15 is a very soft idealistic date. Again thank you for the work you have and will put in on this.

    @erlend - Understandable. Will try to do better.

    @mbiernat - Thanks for the pat on the back. Definitely helps to have some support :)

    Quick update - Aiming for October 15 for the aforementioned super-pre-alpha. Pete Mall is waiting on me to commit a few local additions that need to be fixed up before he jumps back into the fray. Glad to have him back aboard.

    15th again! ;)

    Thanks for the update, and at least that gives me chance to finish off other things before I start playing with it!
