There was a typo.  The install script made you an "administrator"  
rather than a "keymaster".  You'll have to edit your DB directly to  
fix it.  Go to your usermeta table and replace the value that looks  
like:

a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}

with the following:

a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;}

I've been meaning to get something rolling: http://

I'd love the input.

There is no "version" of bbPress at the moment, just revisions and  
nightlies.  Things WILL change.  Possibly drastically before the  
first real release.

That... might be possible.  It's a ways off if it is, though.  Not  
even a 1.0 thing.
