[wp-testers] Forum questions on testers lists ??

[Mattias Tengblad]

bbPress in all honor, sure will work fine for small to medium sized 
projects, but for projects as big as WP it's way to small especially in 
the matter of functionality. In other words I doubt a redesign would 
help much ;)

Just to get it out there, you can't just trow up a forum and think 
everything is gonna organize it self. Thats the feeling of the 
organization of wp.org forums I'm getting right now.
