features as plugins for bbPress

[alexvorn2]

As WordPress team implements some plugins into WP core, I think the same tactics can be applied to bbPress, to create a list of plugins that should be added to bbPress.

As seen here: ​http://make.wordpress.org/core/features-as-plugins/

This will help make bbPress more professional and increase plugin development for bbPress.

We've done a pretty good job at this so far, with hierarchical replies, subscriptions, etc... We probably should maintain a list of plugins that have the potential for core inclusion somewhere. Maybe start a codex page of your favorites, and we can whittle it down from there?

Nice,

I removed 'bbPress - stay checked' as this is only changing the default checkbox for reply notifications, if this should be the default for bbPress then this is easily implemented and we don't need a 'featured plugin' for this. Personally I don't think it should be but maybe we could at this as a second setting of "Subscriptions - Allow users to subscribe to forums and topics" if enough people requested it.

I also removed "bbPress - Restrict Content Pro" as this is a plugin for @mordauk's "Restrict Content Pro"

I also added a couple more that have crossed my mind a few times, some are also already related to existing Trac tickets and ideas.

• bbPress – Post Ratings
• bbPress – Rating Widget
• bbPress – Ajax Replies
• bbPress – Attachments
• bbPress – Quotes
• bbPress – Forum Redirect
• bbPress – Report Abuse
• bbPress – Ignore User
• bbPress – VIP Support

I just created a ticket for this #2520, we can wait and see how much support it gains and go from there.
