Changing the Forums name or domain is a tricky question, that would imply that external references to forum threads wouldn't work. Actually I'm not completely decided what would be my position about this topic.
I don't think it's a problem to retain the domain name as maemo.org (unless you worry about trademark threats from Nokia). As others pointed out, the name doesn't dictate that discussions should be limited to Maemo (as XDA name is also historic and the scope of it is broader). I'm primarily intersted in the other subject - i.e. subsections for open mobile OSes which are missing on TMO already.

It's not like it's purely theoretical. There are already threads about Mer based systems (Nemo Mobile, Jolla/Sailfish and etc.), about Ubuntu mobile and even Firefox OS. They are scattered who knows where - in Meego/Harmattan section, in Alternatives section, in Competitors and even Offtopic section. It can't be called well organized or good approach as is.
