 * I am starting out trying to get wordpress post to generate a bbPress forum (not
   forum topic)
 * Assuming that:
    there are few locations where wordpress actually writes to the
   posts database
 * I want to add simple code to write selected and appropriate info to the relevant
   bb table (they share a database).
 * Ignoring any complications at the bb end, for the time being, I was first wondering
   if anyone could point me to where the code is that actually inserts the post 
   data into the mysql table?
 * And any other quick hints that might help. I am quite new to all this but want
   to learn fast.
 * thanks!
