Unimportant sidenote: Not everyone (like us two) are in the CEST
timezone - he wrote that mail 21:48 local time ;-)

Agree, I just would like to see some important topics imported from the
OCo to the Compiz forums in that case. At least if that's possible.

Agree.

Not much of a problem, but two (minor?) things:

- As Jeff already pointed out, dev at lists.compiz.org will be
non-Compiz-Core related discussion - that's kind of confusing.

-Same for the bugtracker - using bugs.compiz.org as URL for it will
bring us a lot of Compiz Core & core plugin bug reports, where core has
its own bugtracker at FD.o and we (as Compiz Fusion) aren't responsible
for (most of ;-) ) them.

Comments on these two?

Danny
