- There would be a 1.1 version for bbPress standalone, which should be out soon.
- 1.2 would be the plugin.
- You would be able to migrate from standalone to the plugin.
- You’d be able to run your wp blog in forum-only mode.
Hope that clears everything.
I would suggest that you hire a developer because that script is currently meant to be only run by a person who at least knows the basics of coding, bbPress/WordPress etc.

If you have your blog in a directory, and the forums in a sub-directory called forum, then you need to put this script in the WordPress blog directory, where you would find your wp-config.php file. Otherwise you would need to edit the defines on lines 37 and 38:
define( 'W2BC_WP_PATH', '' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */
define( 'W2BC_BB_PATH', 'forum/' ); /** With Trailing Slash, if required */

There are no downloads, but here is the script – http://wordpress-to-bbpress-converter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/w2bc.php
It currently doesn’t support user migration, but that should be easy (and should be done before running the script). I think it’d be basically renaming the tables, though I’m not sure.
Also, *PLEASE* make a backup of your WordPress blog and follow the instructions carefully.

Thank you! One major thing that has changed is the prefix of the functions. Instead of bb_, it is bbp_. The functions names are easy to guess like bbp_forum_title, bbp_topic_title, bbp_topic_reply_count etc. We don’t have post – that has been split into topic and reply. Though post is used to refer to topic and reply both in some functions like bbp_fix_post_author(), but that’s a couple of functions only. Like the standalone, WP, BP, etc there are 2 versions of the same function – one that echoes and one that returns so you’d have bbp_topic_content, bbp_get_topic_content etc.
Right, there is a great need for the documentation. We’ve tried our best to have upto date inline documentation (phpDocs) in place.

Edit: Oh.. I read the rest of your comment later..
Well, yes the query count has gone up, there would have to be an optimization round.
Thanks for the age comment, though!

setup the equivalent of WPDEVEL but for bbPress
We already have bbpdevel.wordpress.com – though that’s not active.

This is a thing which is there in the bbPress plugin – private forums.

In the plugin, it would make use of WP_Query which is a lot flexible – you would be able to do such things there afaik.

You can only have one tag_id arg, that too should be an integer ( also = check is made, you can’t have != check ). Try this:
function my_custom_views_init() {
$args = array(
'tag_id' => 35
);
bb_register_view(
'fruits',
'Fruit',
$args,
false
);
}
You may try to short-circuit the query though, as shown in this plugin – https://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/browser/my-views/trunk/my-views-statistics.php
