In reply to kris.

I agree, it may seem that the bbPress project seems slow on the development side of things. Hopefully John would start contributing more, or at least get developers interested in contributing to bbPress in some way from now on. BuddyPress already has a great following, so much that I can already see a BuddyPress 2.6 version coming out sooner before the long delayed (2 or more years I think) bbPress 2.6. I thought at least John's successful Indiegogo campaign would jump start the release of 2.6 in at least the first half of this year, but bbPress 2.6 is still not released yet. If John does concentrate less on BuddyPress in the future and let others developers like Boone, Paul, or Imath handle it, hopefully he puts his attention toward the growth and development of the bbPress project.
