 From what I got, Handy proposed a "change" that we (the majority) all 
agreed upon:
http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-forums/2007-January/004310.html

We/I were assuming that Michael B. was going to email you about this..? 
I'm not sure if he had done so or not.. but, I had also emailed you a 
while back.. around Jan 26th, for a proposed "change".. Subject title: 
"Regarding the WordPress.org Forum Software" ... However, I don't have 
any authority status.. and we "all" didn't really agree on the proposed 
changes I had put forth.. except for maybe the:

Comment-Quicktag-4-bbPress Plugin. - It adds the little buttons

As far as I know, if the WordPress.org Support forums are running at 
least bbPress 0.74, the plugin is simple to add. The files would only 
need to be dropped into the "my-plugins" folder, and it's ready to go. 
As far as I know, the latest released version of bbPress, is 0.75, and 
I'm pretty sure Michael Adams would have upgraded the WordPress Support 
forums to that by now.

I believe that this plugin will make it a lot easier for everyone to 
post threads and replies in the forums.

I know Petit said there was a little "flaw" with it.. it's nothing too 
big to worry about though.. For the most part, that plugin works just 
great.. :D ;)  I'm not sure what everyone else thinks of it, no one 
really said anything about it.. except for Les Bessant.. =/
