This will be possible to do in the bbPress plugin for WordPress. There are no plans to explicitly support this in the currently downloadable stand-alone version, although you could definitely query the DB manually and sort topics by title.

Original post updated with progress on various parts.
@luminis – bbPress should follow the language that your WordPress installation is, however there currently aren’t any language packs that I know of. To change the various things in your theme, you’ll want to create a new theme that you can modify safely. The easiest way to do that is to copy the bbp-twentyten folder out of /bbp-themes and into your /wp-content/themes/ folder, rename it, and edit the name of your new theme in style.css so that you don’t get the two confused. Your # 3 can be found in form-bbp_topic.php, and # 4 would require a helper plugin to hook into ‘bbp_is_user_subscribed’ and adjust the default value.
A conversion script will be bundled with the plugin, however since bbPress doesn’t come with an export tool, it will probably happen at the database level and not via an XML import/export.

I made some drastic adjustments to the post_meta values a few minutes ago that could have adverse effects on existing installations. I say ‘could’ because I’ve also included a primitive update script that should take care of any potential disasters for you. This should require no attention on your behalf. If for some reason all your topics disappear, don’t fret as they aren’t deleted, just invisible; and deactivating and reactivating the plugin should realign them.
Currently doing query optimization and looking for ways to bring the count down. There are a few places we’re creating new WP_Query objects where it probably isn’t needed, which is causing the object cache to miss in a few places it would normally hit.
Also going to look at topic merging and splitting, as that appears to currently be broken while it attempts to recalculate the new forum, topic, and reply counts.
Hi Chrissy06,
The problem appears to be this file:
http://blogs.worldlearning.org/community-connections-network/wp-content/themes/bbp-twentyten/style.css
It looks like you copied the bbp-twentyten theme out of the bbPress plugin directory and placed it in your /themes/ folder. This should not be necessary, and it could cause conflicts or issues by moving it.
Makes sense. If you’re using it as a stand alone, you can continue to do so if you’re happy with it’s features as we’ll be continuing support for the 1.0/1.1 branches of code for the conceivable future. If you’d like to run the latest and greatest and have a need for WordPress integration, then the in-development plugin version is the way to go.

Things like PM’s are more BuddyPress territory. Image uploading is built into WordPress, so that can be turned on via a plugin to the bbPress plugin pretty easily.
The bbPress documentation will be revamped along side the plugin launch.

@willabee – This is fixed now. Subforums were still defaulting to 5 instead of adhering to the setting.
@ch8rt – How about removing the plugin entirely, and reinstalling it?
@alanchrishughes – Development has sped up in the past 2 months, and we’ve been able to get a lot more features in as a result.
P.S – the forum recount procedures are done, tested, and going through optimizing now. So one of the final bits before an official alpha on the plugin side is near completion.

Only recently has anyone stepped up to give bbPress any dedicated attention. Namely, me. 
Also consider that bbPress as a project is pretty much feature frozen. There isn’t anything more to add to it. There will be a 1.1 soon with a few extras, and that’s it for the stand-alone version aside from maintenance as needed.
A lot of this is already on the forums in several places.

Out of ideas honestly. If you have /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/ and all the necessary files are in there and not corrupted from the download and moving around process, then it’s file permissions.
That’s really the only one. Anything else is just loose ends at this point.
@andrejcarter – It isn’t obvious, but as it stands right now you need to make a WordPress page with the slug ‘login’ and assign the Login Page Template to it. Janky, but still being worked on.
Right now there’s an issue with trashing/deleting replies and topics in the plugin. Basically the topic/reply/voice counts don’t have correct logic, which can result in the counts going all wacky. This wouldn’t be so bad if the recounts in the admin area worked, which they don’t because they use essentially the same logic. This is a known issue and is next on my list of things to do on this.
@chuckmac @LPH2005 – Those meta keys are relatively new, and were an addition that wasn’t backwards compatible with previous development versions. Check this topic for the exact date of the change, but exactly what you found will cause exactly what you describe.
@Rob Bunch – With any prerelease software, you need to understand the risks involved. Just like @chuckmac and @LPH2005 experienced, it’s still possible for there to be architectural changes in the software that aren’t backwards compatible. There are countless changes between the stand alone and plugin versions since the data schema is so different, so certain things needed to be worked around late in the development cycle.
That said, it’s available for download so that you may test it however you are comfortable doing so. Just be aware if something crops up on your live site, there is a limited pool of resources to help you.
Moderated.
@jwindhall – You basically want shared user tables and nothing else, so follow the typical integration methods as if BuddyPress wasn’t in the picture.

Was in Phoenix at WordCamp, and am working on the BuddyPress side of things as well. Updates will come this week.
@Ramiuz – That’s not true at all.
The problem is an ongoing one that even Matt has blogged about in recent past. Part of the reason they’re able to pass the human test it because they might be humans registering real accounts and making real posts. WordPress.org, bbPress.org, and BuddyPress.org all suffer from a similar problem. I’m about sick of it though.
