Re: What's happening with bbPress?
“Even reading the blog, irc and this forum – it’s still unclear to me what should be worked on for the next release.”
Please read them again. In summary: 1.1 release will include email notifications and anonymous posting, both of which are in trunk and would appreciate testing and patches. After that it’s bug fixes, and release.
If you would like to contribute to 1.1, please test the two major feature additions to 1.1 and submit patches for improvements and/or bug fixes to those features.
There is no date because it’s hard for me to predict how much time I have.
