BuddyPress in 2009 & nitpicks to improve in 2010
2009 has been a very important year for BuddyPress, from its 1.0 release in April, reaching a critical mass of contributing users, helpers and developers on the forums, third-party plugin and theme development, professional use and acceptance of BuddyPress and appearances at many WordCamp events throughout the world. BuddyPress 1.2 is on course to be released early next year – you can test-drive it at http://testbp.org/.
Between my knowledge of BuddyPress, my contributions on the forums and my plugins, I have perhaps five or six plugin ideas or concepts at some stage of development. Some of these may see the light of day at some point and some will not.
As it nears Christmas and a new year full of promise and opportunity, I wanted to share my ideas for future improvements.

Completely agree with nearly all your comments about what is needed. The help file especially would be fantastic.
I would love to allow Facebook members join the blog but its just not really possible at present. Apart from the fact there is nothing to allow it, I have to use a stupid invitation code on the site to stop sploggers. As soon as I remove it and open registration I am inundated with them. If anyone could help there it would be something I am sure most of us would pay a small amount for. I know I would!

Thanks for leaving a comment 1stAngel, I agree about WPMU having problems with spammers signing up. It’s a tricky problem.
