If you haven’t been keeping up with our progress over the past few months, you’re in for a treat. bbPress 1.0.3 is due out any day, as is 1.1 Release Candidate 1 which includes new features like email notification on follow-up posts and anonymous posting. There’s also a lot going on under the hood of the new WordPress plugin version of bbPress, and in an effort to get more people involved we’re bringing back the bi-weekly development chats in #bbpress on the freenode network on IRC.
In the past we’ve had a range of involvement, from developers to designers (to a totally empty channel.) 🙂 This time around I’d like to openly invite anyone that’s interested in getting in on the ground floor of development, testing, and theming the up-and-coming bbPress plugin to join us, and be part of building something crazy-super awesome.
We’re going to try to have them every other Wednesday at 4pm EST (UTC – 5) starting on February 23, 2011. If this time absolutely does not work for you and you really want to be there, post an alternative time in the comments and let’s figure something out that works for everyone.
Hope to see you then, and many fortnights to follow!
Good news, I hope to make it along.
4pm EST = 9pm GMT.

Can the meetup be rescheduled anywhere between 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM (UTC/GMT). 🙂
Hi,
will you discuss dropping php4 support ?
PHP4 support will dropped in WordPress 3.2, at which time bbPress will drop it too. 🙂
Any time after 3:00 Central would be good for me. Before 3, I’m still at school.

Certainly looking forward to trying out version 1.1 RC1. Thanks for all the hard work everyone.

Seems the both of you have conflicting needs. Let’s stick with 4pm EST this time and give ourselves an hour for the chat. Gautam, since you’re pretty comfortable and familiar with everything we can debrief at your convenience and make adjustments for our 2 week roadmap.

some contradicting info here:
– “Bi-Weekly Dev Chats”
– “we’re bringing back the bi-monthly development chats”
– “every other Wednesday”
Guess “bi-monthly” is a typo?
Fixed. Happy to have grammar police looking over my shoulder. 🙂
Hey JJJ,
Great to see there’s still people working on bbPress. I was wondering though, why can’t we reply to plugins anymore? The comment field is completely gone, and we can’t submit any plugins anymore either. I’d love to submit some of the recent plugins I’ve made but the current stagnation of plugin development is not going to be fixed until we can actually contribute again 🙂

I think it’s an issue with cookies and being logged in specifically to bbPress.org. It’s pretty low in priority at the moment since bbPress plugins will be in the WordPress repository soon. Someone else reported similar in the forums, so I’ll try to take a look this week.
Any news on 1.1?
It’s idling in trunk at the moment. We’re using it everywhere at the moment, and is probably the most stable and fixed up stand-alone version yet. There are a few outstanding tickets for enhancements to the new user subscriptions, but that’s all that’s left to do.
thank you for all the working
i hope the bbpress will number 1
the bbpres is very good
but he does’t have mony option that i need it
for examples the messages butween user and add the member like friend and the photos of profil
i hope to add it soon
i like the bbpress to be the first
Sounds like you want something like BuddyPress. It comes with friends, messages, etc…

Can you please tell me, if you start more dev Chats?!
There’s no way to alert you, but you can keep an eye on this blog for more info? Otherwise I am always idling in #bbpress on Freenode and happy to talk bbPress whenever I’m around. 🙂
Tumbleweeds rolling across main street here.
Sad but true. Are you interested in getting involved?
Hope you will make something simple but useful and reliable. There is lack of opensource forum software today. PHPBB is leader but their system could be a lot better. I’ll definitely try your product! Keep working!
I’d be interested in hearing what is going on. Very obsessed with forums and recently have fallen in love with the word press CMS. Seems like bbpress is a good horse to bet on to eventually create the perfect forum/CMS package.
