I’m new to bbPress, but a longtime WordPress developer. One of my favorite things about WordPress is the extensive Codex and documentation of the core functions. My question is two-fold.

First, does any documentation of the built-in functions exist? Second, how can I contribute to the documentation? I know the plugin version is about to go into Alpha release, so perhaps I’m better off contributing when that comes out?

Hi

Nothing exists yet, but there is an approximate game-plan for the bbPress plugin once it’s released. We’ve tried to keep everything phpDoc’ed in the plugin, so step one will be getting developers to reference that + trac. Step two will be getting bbPress.org to use the plugin version of bbPress, and then use a multisite instance of WordPress to manage the individual languages and codex. That’s probably a few months out though, realistically.

Thanks ya’ll! Once the plugin version moves into alpha or beta, let me know what I can do to help improve the documentation.

That PHPdoc helps a lot Gautam. I’ve also been using the PHP xRef as well. http://phpxref.ftwr.co.uk/bbpress/nav.html?index.html
