Me, too. This is somehow what I aimed at with the idea of
"compiz-flavors" - multiple sub-projects under compiz.org as the
parent-project. And thus, all information integrated into one
website ... all users in one community. That would be like a dream come
true!

Or we just add a forum/category "Community Enhancements" and each
project can get its own subforum (and maybe a subdomain). (@delfick:
This would be a very good usecase for the subforums ... you convinced
me :D)

Good idea. :)

I can additionally add the plugins-tab to the layout as soon as we have
some pages with info about the core-plugins (and hopefuly also for the
third-party ones from Mike, Danny, Robert, Dennis, Erkin and all the
others). 
The plugin-template for the wiki ( see here for more info:
http://forum.compiz.org/viewtopic.php?t=812 ) also shows in which
package a plugin can be found, but we could of course extend it to also
show a link to the right project-subforum.
