However it doesn't match some of the forum themes in terms of space usage, rendering speed and accessibility (I refer to the black background, but also to the ability to zoom and FTV).
I think it would be awful to loose performance on the forum. Please keep some light and speedy theme (I like the minimalistic too).

I can't tell for sure based on the posted screenshots, but the second one makes it look like the menu on the right means that the forum posts will remain narrow all the way down, and I think this a really big usability problem, especially on the tablets, which only have 800 pixels width to deal with in the first place.

Most probably not but then, it will all depend on the feedback we get from the members.

I wouldn't speak too soon. The maemo.org layout is designed to work well on tablet-sized constraints. I'd at least give it a chance rather than dismissing it out-of-hand.
AFB wants to update Minimalistic for the new site and even has some feature improvements waiting to be released.

The new theme is now up. Please comment, suggest improvements, and report any bugs and errors you find.
The Minimalist theme has been retained, pending improvements.
Thanks!

Congrats! I like it. Only thing I find (a bug?) is that the maemo.org logo in the top left corner doesn't do anything. I'm kinda used to it taking me back to http://www.internettablettalk.com

One feature request for the forum (and maybe the web site): a user pre-determined font size. I don't know if this is possible, but it would be cool. That would avoid the use of FTV function.
