Re: Still looking for 4 (working) plugins
I’ve now asked about these in two other bbPress forums (subsections of WP forums)
I’d not waste my time there. The WP.org forums are really great for WordPress stuff (if you now the right terminology), but quite useless for bbPress.
Post Notification
Since I started using RSS (which most email clients and phone now handle nicely), I’ve never had a need for this.
It’s a fairly simple one to code though (with pitfalls), if there was a big enough need for it.

Yeah, that won’t work, and isn’t being worked on.
Matt annouced in December that it was going to be part of 1.1, but then ran away when people disagreed with him (can you believe a moderator actually asked him a question – sacrilege) and started telling people not to use bbpress while he was making KeyNote speeches at WordCamps.
It should be working in the trunk version of 1.1, which will be the last version of bbPress to be released.
After The Deadline
I typed “after the deadline bbpress” into google and this came up:

Whether it will work with the plugin by a different author i’ve no idea. In honesty, IE7’s the only browser I have that doesn’t have a spell check built in natively, and its got it via an addon; so i’ve never really seen the need for this. Clearly others have though.
Someone said that part of the reason they haven’t been updated is because the authors are waiting for the new ‘plugin’ version of bbPress to be released
Sadly the WordPress (small p dangit) plugin will eradacate all code/plugins/themes/support from the current version. Nothing will be compatible.
A large part of why things aren’t updated is because bbPress looked like it was dying. The decision to rewrite a large chunk of code and go with BackPress made the majority of plugins not work overnight, and the initial thrust of 1.0 made it not worthwhile to upgrade them.
If we assumed they worked once, and all they’re not doing now is the notification part, you’d think that wouldn’t be very difficult to fix.
Awesome, i look forward to you coding them and releasing them. Thanks for offering Joe
