Suggestions to prepare a site which is 90% based on a plugin that's still on beta stage?

Question

I want to make a forum site which uses the bbPress plugin for Wordpress (it turns Wordpress into a forum platform). The forums say that the beta plugin shouldn't be used in production.

I want to get some things done, I thought about some elements that may not be affected by changes in the core of the plugin:

• The graphic design part

• The UI part

• The CSS

• Some features

Any other suggestions?

Answer 1

If you are not going to use a ready made forum platform like :

• SMF
• phpBB
• Vbulletin
• myBB
• Vanilla

becuase that site is not all forum but also a forum and you want wordpress as your platform then i would suggest you look at SimplePress as your forum plugin which is very mature and is constantly updated, packed with features and I can safely recommend it as a forum plugin form wordpress.
