For me, the most useful thing would be a little WP plugin that shows the same information that’s in the Latest Discussions section of the bbpress front page.
Nothing too fancy, just ordered by freshness, so I could pop something in my sidebar similar to the “recent comments” section I have on boakes.org.
@ear1grey: Maybe I´ve got the plugin you want to have – some time ago I created a plugin like that for a bbpress+wordpress site which is no more online – I´ll search it on my HD and test it, and if it still works I´ll put it up for download…
ear1grey: what you need is already available see:

You may need to modify your rss2.php and copy it to your my-templates folder.
You can see it in action on my site (link via my username).
Hope that helps.
Thx Philip – Naturally I was hoping to avoid the XML round-trip, but I’ll swallow that little overhead-pill for now! 
Maby a plug-in that alows users to post pictures in the forum ore an avatar for etch user to upload…
I would like a plugin with a imageshack/fapomatic upload form.
I would like a plugin for threaded comments. Please let me know if there is already one.
i would love to see bbpress available as a wordpress plugin so i don’t have to jump through all the integration hoops. i’m not true geek… just a wanabee and i don’t really know how to make bbpress work with wordpress.
