Development
It’s fairly quiet right now.
It shouldn’t be too many, just try it.
You can read about us internationalizing things here:

Just one more quick one: how many strings are still hard coded into bbPress?
bbPress uses the exact same translation framework, gettext.
Large parts of it have already been translated as part of WordPress.com, but we don’t want to localize the default templates until we have proper themes. (Like in WP.)
Can bbPress be localized like WP?
Plugins? Awesome, now I really, really want to get using this. 
If you define('WP_BB', true);, you still have to call the WordPress script yourself.
put require_once('../wp-config.php'); (or whatever the right path is) in bbPress’ config.php.
klasen,
Users with spaces:
You way be able to get away with creating a plugin that overrides bb_check_login and bb_set_current_user with your own functions of the same name. If not, you’ll probablp have to edit the user_sanitize function. That function should probably be made pluggable.
I’ll try to get more details about this soon.
Fatal Error:
I assume you are talking about defining the constant WP_BB. All this does is tell bbPress not to load certain functions. It does not include the wp-config file for you (haw would it know where to look?). You need to do that yourself. I’d suggest require_once('../wp-config.php'); (or where ever it is) in bbPress’ config.php file.
mod_rewrite:
bbPress can generate a sample .htaccess file for you if you log in and browse to bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php. Copy the output and save it into your .htaccess file. Alternatively, you might be able to forgo the rewrite rules and instead set Options +MultiViews
Hello, installed the recent 0.72 version and having some issues. Trying to use it integrated with WordPress install. BBPress doesnt seem to recognize any wordpress users that have a space in their name. I have some wordpress users with spaces in their names (which function just fine in wordpress) and they are unable to log into bbpress. Users without spaces in their names log in just fine.
A couple of other issues which I havent dug into yet:
– If I try to activate the option for loading wp every time, I always get this error: “Fatal error: Call to undefined function: __() in /home2/klasenus/public_html/forums/bb-includes/capabilities.php on line 27” Works fine without it. Not sure if I really need it, but want to have full integration of bbpress into wp
– With mod_rewrite set to true, if I try to navigate within bbpress I get redirected to my wp 404 page as the bbpress page cannot be found. About the only link that works in bbpress is the new topic link
Any help would be appreciated… I will keep chugging…

Wow. I’ve been watching bbpress for a long time now and waiting for a release.
What a trip that I end up on the site almost minutes after it happens.
Go Go BBPress!
Damn this is looking good! And just after I’ve already gotten all fired up about Vanilla.
Halleleujah bbPress is getting some love! So now I want to bring in some client forums. Anyone know of any way to import the data from a phpBB db? Is such a thing possible? I really hope so.
Frills will be in plugins.
I love the new design, and the fact that it integrates with WordPress really rocks. If only there were some ‘frills’ to it.. Ah well, I’ll definatly have to try it out in the future.
Awesome! Now, I’ll start working on making awesome themes for bbpress..

So awesome to finally see this up. 
Yeah, my post was lost in that first hitch! Obviously not a big deal though.
By the way, is there a bbPress IRC channel?
Here they are at last, without a hitch!
Ok, without two hitches. We did have one false start.
You can log in with your wordpress.org forums username and password.
