This article acts as if they are going their own separate ways when this is clearly not the case.
Why did someone make a fork? Maybe to submit a patch? Maybe to have their own copy in case the origin decides to delete?

- lucideer 12y agoI didn't find the actual content of the blog post particularly informative in itself, but there's plenty of indication that this is not just someone forking to submit a patch. - https://github.com/node-forward https://github.com/node-forward is an organisation, not an individual and has put up various repositories centering around the forking effort. - They have set up a website, http://nodeforward.org/ http://nodeforward.org/ - which indicates (albeit with scant detail/background) that this is an independent effort to improve node. - as zzmp pointed out, there is a fair bit of discussion around indicating some political discontent: https://github.com/node-forward/discussions/issues/7 https://github.com/node-forward/discussions/issues/7
