I thought you all might like to get a look at the new bbPress.org website so far...

Yes, they do :)

Hello,
What I lover in this design (apart of its obvious elenage) is the "home" link.
For integrated WP/PP it would be cool if kakumei had the option of a home link -> to the WP install
I know it's easy to add by hand, but I dont like tweaking themes (and files) because this makes updates always touchy.Luc

Max size for Gravatars is 512px by 512px

Though I am certain someone will clone it in short time like the did with wordpress.org
I'll release anything interesting that comes out of the work, but so far it's pretty standard stuff.

I dig the new look, a much needed re-design! Glad to see a bit of honey in the new design, adds a little fun, without giving me a toothache ;)
The two column layout is a big improvement too, helps organize the content better and keeps it at out fingertips.
Can I infer from the "Themes" link that bbPress will have an official theme directory soon?

It's on the drawing board yes. Can't say when that part will get there.

would be nice to add Gravatar size options in the admin panel
Just set it in the various places in your theme.

In a previous thread, I was advised to change the size in template-functions.php:

Looks great! I quite like the gravatar size, the current ones are way too small IMO. I don't understand why the bees are everywhere though.

I think the bees were the idea of the new icon designer,
I guess they picked up on bbPress as "bee-bee" Press. LOL -

The bees came about because every icon idea we tried to literally represent those sections' "posts", "forums" and "topics" were too similar to other existing icons in the menu or too ambiguous or just plain dull.
In the end we threw around some ideas which would simply be memorable and maybe have some semblance of a hierarchy to them. The hierarchy thing didn't really work out 100% in the end, but the icons are certainly memorable, plus it gives me a few graphic motifs to use in bbPress collateral.

Love it. Similar but different. I also love the icons, as it is "bee bee Press" after all. Plus, if we're going to over think this, Bee's and hives represent a colony, and forums are basically the same thing; a colony of users.
Or, maybe you guys just love sweet, sweet honey... Just a bunch of Pooh Bear's surrounded by empty glass jars hoping Matt will send another shipment this month to keep you motivated. :)
