No, I think the current compiz forum should be "frozen" as a RO subforum of 
the opencompositing.org forum. As I said earlier, it's possible to import the 
current forums using vB, but I think a RO link as a subforum gives us nearly 
the same benefit without the effort of:  import-compiz + import-beryl + 
convert vB to phpbb2. If Rico and Arturo port the current compiz forum theme 
to the combined forum, we can change the link on compiz.org and the combined 
forum will become part of the compiz site.
