 {{{
 I'd actually lean toward removing the BuddyPress flavor on the Showcase
 instead.

 I think it's great if BuddyPress & bbpress have their own showcases, but I
 think the overhead in maintaining 3 separate showcases is not something
 super sustainable, at least in the short term (seeking out, adding,
 vetting submissions, checking they still run WP, keeping design looking
 fresh, screenshots, etc.) and probably isn't necessary given the volume of
 great sites who are using them (not enough :()  - we can add/maintain both
 as flavors on the .org showcase.

 Also, seeing something on the WordPress.org Showcase I think further
 legitimizes it vs. seeing it on the BP or bbP sites - they just don't have
 the traffic the .org site has.

 I guess the real question is, do we want to give so much recognition /
 visibility to what is essentially a plugin? If so, they definitely belong
 in the .org Showcase.
