[Compcomm] The Next Step

[Will Farrington]

To be honest, I've been on the "name should be COMPIZ RAH!" side for a
long time. What it comes down to is that as much as I do believe that
heartily, that it seems we're just exercising a lot of futile typing in
what inevitably becomes a flame war. I just want to get the danged ball
rolling, ya know? :/


But I still like http://www.compizforums.org/ because it's a good domain
name and it's clear.
