I think that sounds like a great idea, it solves a lot of the problems
as far as I can see.

Then someone can define a 'project' and then they can get a
subdomain and then host it wherever they like.

I would be interested in a python.compiz.org subdomain myself
for the python documentation and information, something to
encourage python developers to use Linux and come help us
too.  I was going to register compiz-python.org, but python.compiz.org
would be better.

We could even have special shared subdomains which could
be specially for high traffic release announcements, anyone of
the sub projects can use this and make sure that it survives
any sort of traffic load.  We had a problem with forum uptime
because a well meaning user linked a forum post on digg.

We should also tweak the plugin development section of the
forum so that it is more of a plugin announcement section.
Each plugin can specify which sub project it belongs to so
that people can find more information easily.
