Hola Daniel,
The integration current allows you to create meetings within BBB from a
Sakai tool. Specify a name and pick some participants from the list of
site members, click start and you are redirected into BBB. All the
participants then get an email with a link that takes them directly in.
That's it for the moment.
I'm hoping to start getting some stuff into the confluence space
(http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/BBB/Home) tomorrow whilst
Nuno, who has kindly volunteered his valuable help will initially be
getting some feature requests into JIRA. All the stuff you mention is on
Nuno's hitlist for UFP, so expect to see it JIRAd.
Saludos,
Adrian.
