IRC log from the meetup on January 13, 2010
[21:02 GMT] <PeteMall> <meetup>
[21:03 GMT] <photomatt> thanks to pete and chris for posting the missing logs
[21:04 GMT] <photomatt> we had talked about making meetup basically like a 1-hour bug triage
[21:05 GMT] <photomatt> so does anybody have some favorites?
[21:05 GMT] <jjj> favorite bugs?
[21:06 GMT] <jjj> They’re all so good, I don’t know where to start!
[21:07 GMT] <GIGALinux> is somewhere a list of features which sould be go into bbpress 1.1, like a roadmap?
[21:07 GMT] <nerieru> since nothing is talked about right now
[21:07 GMT] <nerieru> how about the docs?
[21:07 GMT] <nerieru> they need an update
[21:07 GMT] <nerieru> I posted about helping out with that in the topic on the forum
[21:07 GMT] <photomatt> GIGALinux: yes, anon posting, email notifications, and bug fixes
[21:08 GMT] <photomatt> nerieru: we added 5 people access to the site to be able to update the docs, they should be getting better
[21:08 GMT] <GIGALinux> photomatt: thanks
[21:08 GMT] <nerieru> ok so you don’t need help with that?
[21:08 GMT] <photomatt> nerieru: well if there are mistakes you still see, please point them out!
[21:08 GMT] <photomatt> of course it can be made better
[21:08 GMT] <filosofo> You can see my work so far on anon posting in #1239
[21:08 GMT] <wp-trac-bot> filosofo: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1239 normal, normal, 1.1, filosofo->Unassigned, new, Login-less Posting
[21:08 GMT] <nerieru> Cus frankly my php skills are low, so I’m starting with writing plugins, thought I could help with that as well
[21:09 GMT] <nerieru> well where to start matt, it doesn’t even begin to compare with wp’s codex
[21:09 GMT] <jjj> photomatt, is the emphasis is on growing bbPress out to include WP functionality, or making it a core plugin that can use what WP can already do?
[21:10 GMT] <jjj> I have a feeling I could have bbPress turned into a core plugin pretty quickly.
[21:10 GMT] <photomatt> jjj: for 1.1, just improving in-place functionality
[21:11 GMT] == Michael_Kuhlmann [n=chatzill@c-98-208-26-59.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has joined #bbpress
[21:11 GMT] <PeteMall> jjj: thats exactly what I want to do… but we need to support the users and fix the bugs in the current stable version first
[21:11 GMT] <PeteMall> the future of bbPress may be a core plugin but it’ll have to wait until the next release
[21:11 GMT] <nerieru> hehe good
[21:12 GMT] <nerieru> I hope it doesn’t turn into one
[21:12 GMT] <hajii> https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1222 Relevant Post Links broken
[21:12 GMT] == Michael_Kuhlmann has changed nick to mfgmk
[21:12 GMT] <nerieru> also matt, I don’t mind putting together a codex for making bbpress themes
[21:12 GMT] <nerieru> like wp’s
[21:12 GMT] <hajii> https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1215 post count bug
[21:12 GMT] <nerieru> cus right now it pretty much only says which files are needed/possible
[21:13 GMT] <hajii> couple RSS related ones I can’t find right off hand
[21:13 GMT] <photomatt> hajii: I’m opening these in tabs as you point to them
[21:13 GMT] <photomatt> https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1134
[21:13 GMT] <hajii> Those I posted are definitely “BROKEN” not feature requests
[21:14 GMT] <hajii> https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1139 0750 permissions for my-templates and my-plugins (non-wordpress-like)
[21:15 GMT] == mfgmk has changed nick to avenuek9
[21:15 GMT] <photomatt> hajii: that’s a good one, agreed it should be 755
[21:15 GMT] <hajii> That’s enough truly ‘broken’ stuff for 1 week. I am truly just recording here to post the IRC log on the blog. Gotta run.
[21:16 GMT] <hajii> Oops, 3 RSS related ones: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1181 RSS Feeds not validating
[21:17 GMT] <hajii> https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1206 Invalid RSS feed when a tag has no posts associated with it
[21:17 GMT] <hajii> https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1209 rss.php errors
[21:17 GMT] <hajii> 1209 has a patch by gautam
[21:18 GMT] <PeteMall> photomatt: do u think it makes sense to have a bbpressdev.wordpress.com a la wpdevel?
[21:18 GMT] <PeteMall> we already hajii doing bug gardening
[21:19 GMT] <PeteMall> and there are a few people interested in bug fixes
[21:25 GMT] <jjj> photomatt, I like that idea
[21:25 GMT] <jjj> petemall also
[21:26 GMT] <photomatt> PeteMall: I’m not opposed, but we’re already fragmented and there’s only a few people
[21:26 GMT] <photomatt> not 50+ like in WP
[21:26 GMT] <PeteMall> true… I just feel like it helps ppl concentrate on their tasks and get other involved
[21:28 GMT] <jjj> petemall, do you have a wordpress.com username?
[21:29 GMT] <PeteMall> PeteMall
[21:29 GMT] <PeteMall> or developersmind
[21:29 GMT] <photomatt> I’m going to spend the afternoon going through those tickets, don’t really have anything else for the agenda
[21:29 GMT] <photomatt> any final topics?
[21:30 GMT] <filosofo> photomatt, what’s game for patching?
[21:30 GMT] <filosofo> For example, i’d like to add documentation,
[21:30 GMT] <filosofo> remove the use of deprecated functions in core,
[21:30 GMT] <filosofo> but because those aren’t critical, I’m wondering if the patches have a chance
[21:30 GMT] <filosofo> to get in before getting stale.
[21:31 GMT] <filosofo> Or before bbPress gets turned into a “core” plugin. 🙂
[21:32 GMT] <photomatt> absolutely
[21:32 GMT] <photomatt> filosofo: did you want to commit your anon ticket directly?
[21:32 GMT] <filosofo> that would be nice. It’s still a work in progress.
[21:39 GMT] == DJPaul [n=DJPaul@host217-43-161-31.range217-43.btcentralplus.com] has joined #bbpress
[21:41 GMT] <PeteMall> anything else?
[21:42 GMT] <photomatt> filosofo: could you confirm your wp.org username
[21:42 GMT] <photomatt> nm, it’s on the ticket
[21:42 GMT] <filosofo> photomatt, it’s filosofo everywhere in wp-land 🙂
[21:45 GMT] <photomatt> filosofo: you should be able to commit directly to bbpress SVN now, want to try it and put “fixes #1239” in it so it closes the ticket?
[21:45 GMT] <wp-trac-bot> photomatt: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1239 normal, normal, 1.1, filosofo->Unassigned, new, Login-less Posting
[21:45 GMT] <filosofo> one moment…

[21:47 GMT] <filosofo> photomatt, seems to work great, thanks

[21:50 GMT] <filosofo> thanks 🙂
[21:52 GMT] <photomatt> one ticket down
[21:52 GMT] <photomatt> that’s a good note to end the meetup on
[21:52 GMT] <photomatt> </meetup>
Glad to see things are moving with this project, keep up the good work guys.
For certain I have a few projects I could roll this out on in conjunction with WordPress on at least 4 sites.

About Anonymous Posting … I have modified Austin Matzko anonymous plugin to get it to work with 1.0.2. See below. (I wanted to share this to give you a head start on creating it for 1.1).

@Matt
looks like my pasting code didn’t work.
Here is the code on Pastebin –> http://pastebin.com/f37fc355d
Damn! I keep forgetting to turn up to these.
This is great that you post these here Matt. It makes the development of the software very transparent and reminds muppets like myself that we should actually turn up to the IRC chat! Perhaps WordPress IRC logs should be published on http://wpdevel.wordpress.com/? There’s lots of stuff that goes on in WordPress chat which many of us miss because we don’t make it to the chat. They’re obviously stored, but lots of people don’t know how to access them or just plain forget (like me).
It looks like bbPress is taking a more evolutionary, rather than revolutionary approach to development. I’d be more inclined to write a plugin for WordPress, then write a converter from the old system to the new one so all the posts etc. could be easily transported over rather than work on the existing system.
On a related note, I’m thinking of writing a tutorial to explain how to integrate WordPress headers and footers dynamically into other systems (like bbPress), so if I do a good enough job at least users will have an easy way to integrate the look of their sites until the move is made to it becoming a plugin.
@Ryan
“On a related note, I’m thinking of writing a tutorial to explain how to integrate WordPress headers and footers dynamically into other systems (like bbPress)”
That would be great…and I’m sure very helpful for people trying to use bbPress! I’ve created forums with matching headers/footers, etc before…but there is always more to learn.
Just a little FYI, but I intend to have a bbPress theme framework done within the month, and hopefully a completed function list with descriptions within the next month or two.
You can get in touch with me at chris blat chriseverson blot net if you have anything to contribute to the function list.
Really need a facebook connect login. If no plugin will be avalable within the next 100 years I will take a forum system which offers this service. Simple machines forum (SMF 2.0) for example.

Annonymous posting = very requested Feature. It will surely get many others to participate. But as long as we can turn it off in the admin area it is OK with me.

WordPress plug-ins can be written more quickly for the people they want to. WordPressle those who are interested in a lot of thought prevails. But it still has not been available plug-ins.
