bbPress will be a WordPress Plugin
So it is decided I guess, bbPress will finally be a WordPress plugin, most probably a canonical plugin. In the IRC meetup on 30 December ’09, Matt said that bbPress will surely become a WordPress plugin – not so soon, maybe after the release of bbPress 1.2 or so. (More …)

That’s really great to hear. I’ve been holding off on putting up a forum on my site because I don’t want to have 2 software packages to maintain (WordPress and forum software) so it will be really nice when it is a plugin.
I’m looking forward to Canonical plugins too, and it will be great to see bbpress as a canonical plugin.
So many fun things coming up in 2010 for WordPress!

I don’t really know what to think about this.. I liked the idea of bbPress being a standalone software package, which could be integrated into already existing websites, portals and more, which doesn’t use WordPress. After this change, all these will have to install WordPress, right?

Yup, you’ll have to install WordPress first and then bbPress (which will be a canonical plugin). It wouldn’t matter a lot as now plugin can be installed in a few clicks.
