1.0 will include XML-RPC for all bbPress content.
It would be quite easy to create a plugin for WordPress which fetches content via XML-RPC and turns it into an array.

You need to add the same SALT and KEY settings in bbPress config file…
define('BB_AUTH_KEY', '');
define('BB_AUTH_SALT', '');
define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY', '');
define('BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT', '');
define('BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY', '');
define('BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT', '');
.
Of course you need to actually set values in them to match your WPMU install.

They are called permalinks for a reason

It has to do with people using different character encoding for their database tables other than UTF-8. I’m probably overstating the threat as the same problem exists on all data input and we filter it out the problem there. I was also just reviewing WordPress injection attacks of days gone by, so it was on my mind.
In any case, the solution in the future is to change your display name after registration. Display names are UTF-8 friendly.
It should be noted that using non ascii characters in bbPress is not supported and you could open yourself to a whole range of potential SQL injection threats by doing so.
WordPress has never supported non-ascii characters in usernames and has compensated by allowing display names, bbPress 1.0 now allows display names as well for the same reason.

We hope there will be no difficulty at all.

If you want we can work together on improving the existing search to make it better. We should be offering a “super” search in core.

Don’t modify your bb-config file until after you have installed bbPress.
Even then I can’t guarantee it will work with Trunk as it isn’t tested for deep integration yet.
You get to the last post by clicking on the time in the “freshness” column of a topic list
This can be changed in the templates just look for these functions in your templates and set $size to the integer you would like:
post_author_avatar($size)
post_author_avatar_link($size)
bb_get_avatar( $user->ID, $size )
It now also has some security problems including known SQL injection vulnerabilities.
Example:

This is a deeper problem than the role map. If you have users spread across two tables you will never get them to both be able to login.
You need to just use the WordPress user table and migrate any users from the bbPress user table across to it (don’t forget the meta as well.
First just try to get using one set of user data happening. Then try to tackle single login.
We also use bbPress to dabble in some new ideas, as our users are generally very nice and don’t shout at us when we break things.
: )
bbPress is designed to be light and extensible. It’s aim is to create a robust framework which can be extended with plugins and themes.
It is designed to be adapted by developers into what they want it to be while it takes care of the core behaviour.
WordPress is very similar in this regard, it just has a much older ecosystem of extensions and a much more active community.
If you upgrade to the latest bbPress trunk you will have access to the new BBXF exporter. There is also a standalone BBXF importer for phpBB, but I have not tested it yet. You will have to do some work to get it running at this early stage of development, this should be a lot easier as we move forward with this idea.

Actually it will be in 1.0-alpha-2 (the next alpha release)
1.0-alpha now includes php-mailer from WordPress.
I’ve added a plugin for 1.0-alpha to allow sending of email via an SMTP server. https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/smtp-mailer-for-bbpress/
There will be a sort of super plugin that you will be able to integrate into bbPress to get most of the functionality of TalkPress. The working name for the project is “bbPress Channels”. It will be released after TalkPress.
We have debated adding the wp-mail class to bbPress to get this functionality built in, but we balked at the sheer size of the code. What is a good lightweight replacement for php-mailer that we can consider adding to backpress?
If there is no secure salt in WordPress then you don’t need one in bbPress. I think it says that in the note on that field in the installer.
This is fixed in trunk and will be fixed in the next alpha release which will probably be in the next couple of days.

IRC channel is at #bbpress on Freenode
You shouldn’t be installing bbPress in the WordPress plugin folder.
It’s not a plugin.
