Hello all.
Josh from Texas here. I've been following the mailing list for the past
few days, and I just noticed on the project status wiki that group
forums based on bbpress is a planned feature. So how will this forum
functionality work? As in, will groups be able to create new forums from
their admin pages? Will the bbpress tables be part of the same database?
Will the bbpress code be required as part of the buddypress core?
Etc....
Sorry so many questions, I'm just intrigued by the idea of kinda
blending bbpress and buddypress together and having forums be creatable
by the users.
Awesome stuff so far.
Thanks,
~ Josh
