Just in case since you said you would be more focussed on using MySQL initially, make sure to use PDO and not MySQL-specific functions while developing this proposed GetSimple forum plugin.
That said, bbPress is a good example of what this plugin could possibly be to GetSimple. I'd also like to see a guide or two on integrating existing forums solutions as I think this is a good alternative in the meantime.
Also, just for some feedback on features, I'd like to see you keep it simple. I find most of MyBB's features superfluous and the interface even moreso. Personally I preferred the more simple and out of the way PunBB/FluxBB interface.
