I don’t think it is incorporated/coded yet–still in Alpha, so I guess we just have to wait.
Well done on the new site Andy, it’s great.
I’ve talked with Sam a bit about this, and it seems the best way to do it would be to include one installation with every BuddyPress install.
With one installation, a single forum could be generated for each new group created. I’m not sure about a “global” forum yet, but I assume the same could be done for that too.
Thanks for the forum, Andy!
