[bbDev] Looking for honest, dream-dashing opinions

[chall3ng3r]

I tried it a lot, but until now I am unable to make it work, and now using
Vanilla.

But this project is good as well, and whenever it'll get simple to install
I'll defiantly give it a try :D

What I can suggest now is, there should be a mysql script in the
installation file with all basic settings already filled in, and some sample
data. I'm sure this will ease the installation process. 

Best,

I think the DB structure is pretty well locked down now.  I've been  
tossing around the idea of forummeta[1], but I'm not sure how useful  
it would be.  Regardless, adding a new table is an easy upgrade.

So I'm wondering if people think bbPress is ready to see an install  
script.

A couple things:  "Yes, it would make my installation so much easier,  
I've been having problems getting it set up" is not super  
informative; *everyone* wants their own site to work :)  Also, the  
inclusion of an install script is in *no way* a sign that bbPress is  
ready to be deployed live anywhere.  Alpha blah blah own risk etc.  
will still apply.  Anyone thinking otherwise will probably see their  
site crumble a time or two.  I certainly have.

So, with the ever present "This will delete all your data, break your  
mind and suck out your soul" warning, is there any disadvantage to  
including an install script at this stage of the game?
