[Compcomm] CompComm has a real name!

[RYX]

I don't want to interrupt the happiness, but can someone briefly explain
what we actually agreed on? We have a name now, but do we have some
other details?

Did the plan change to "opencompositing.org will now be renamed to
compiz-fusion.org and things are going on as before"? Can someone please
shed some light on this?

I really doubt it was a good idea to make this public before we have a
real plan and some details and I am highly confused about all this. We
had a general agreement on quinn's post, but now things are apparently
totally different again ...
