[bbDev] Installation and WP Integration

[Thomas Leavitt]

If folks are going to be integrating Wordpress and bbPress, would it
make more sense for bbPress, rather than developing an entirely new
templating/style sheet system, to simply incorporate the Wordpress
"theme" system, and create an analogous "bb-content" directory, under
which plugins, and "themes" and other content designed to be preserved
across versions and upgrades could be stored?

I mean, the code has already been written, why not just lift it
wholesale instead of re-inventing the wheel... especially since it would
be natural for a combined Wordpress/bbPress system to have a common
theme?
