Shadowsun7 wants to know when more work will be done on bbpress.

Somehow I managed to miss this note. In any case, a few things I'm wondering:

• When, if ever, will the WordPress themes website start accepting new themes? (It must be getting near a year since anything gone on there.)
• Why doesn't a default install of WordPress have caching built-in? If not that, why not include the WP-Cache or WP-Super Cache plugins?

I'll probably have more later. For now I need to run.

With the popularity of wordpress growing so explosively over the last couple years, what sort of tactics are you going to take on security? Do you have anyone helping with the project actively trying to hack WP to eliminate holes before they're found by truly malicious people?

Will WordPress ever offer the option to customize roles to users? For example, assigning an author the ability to access the Write tab only and not receive email notification on comments?

I've been meaning to add more questions, finally remembered to do it:

• How big is the team currently working on WordPress? How is it structured? Who on that team is compensated? How?
• Who sets development priorities for present and future versions?
• Is there a central website that would answer this type (basics of the development process) of questions? Should there be?
• Has there been any (internal) discussion about a new default theme for WordPress?
• How is the WordPress code organized? Has there been much consideration of changing that underlying logic?
• What are some of the ways that people can contribute to Wordpress/the community?
• What features of the current build of WordPress do you like best? What forthcoming features are you most excited about?
