I have kept reading this forums for about a month. I saw many similar processes of solving the same problem.

Not long ago, I asked Sam Bauers a question about bbpulp.org on IRC:

<livibetter> can we (users) expand it? like FAQ, troubleshooting, theme modifications?

<livibetter> there are many questions asked again and again on forums. If we can systematically organize a collection of these, then may be easily to give a solution for their questions.

<sambauers> Yeah, go ahead.

<sambauers> It is a wiki after all 

<sambauers> Although it was focused on being a developers resource.

<livibetter> Thanks! I will post a post for this, and hope many other user will do the same thing.

<sambauers> If you wanted to look at the actual bbPress.org documentation

<sambauers> you are welcome to suggest additions and edits of the pages there

<livibetter> I see

<sambauers> It makes more sense to compile FAQs there for instance

<sambauers> And installation/integration notes

<sambauers> Which will soon need updating anyway

<livibetter> means 0.8.4 coming soon?

<sambauers> Probably not until WordPress 2.4

If we can collect and organize these solutions well, we can be more easier to help. I did a small change on the main page, not really start to write something. I took a while to write those new entries, it’s harder than I can imagine. I can’t make them systematic. And that’s still not good, but collaboration can correct mistakes and build a great stuff.

So, Let’s collaborate!

I was actually suggesting that the user-level stuff stay off there and be concentrated in the documentation here on bbPress.org

But if people are keen about writing docs then perhaps bbPulp can be a sandbox for that and when content matures it can be pulled across here to the “official” documentation.

I think there should be a new release before 0.8.4 that fixes all the stuff that was messed up with db-mysqli.php and the usernames with spaces or special characters in them. Call it whatever you want, but I don’t think those fixes should wait until 0.8.4. Just look through this forum for the number of people who have had database problems. Having a release or at least posting a sticky on how to get revision 980 seems like the right thing to do. Right now 0.8.3 is broken for a lot of people. It makes bbPress look bad.
