Contributing a patch is a one-time operation.
Maintaining a fork and keeping it up to date means you have to constantly integrate upstream work into your work if you want it to remain relevant.
It's the difference between fixing a single issue and owning a project indefinitely.
- urthor 5y agoSounds like OpenAI itself cannot be bothered to maintain the original project. A well meaning forker (forkee?) interested in RL looking to make a name for themselves could do the world a huge amount of good.
- hirako2000 5y agoI would fork it and mainly provide time to arbitrate changes. I would argue that it is difficult to make sense of the community desires though. Looking at the issues, the path desired by the community for the project isn't clear. If you mind clarifying, I wouldn't mind helping out.
