This is a collection of software project forks, collected primarily to
|
||||
exemplify the assertion of software freedoms.
|
||||
|
||||
The term 'fork' here is used in the older, pre-GitHub sense of a division of
|
||||
community development effort into two distinct projects, rather than the
|
||||
trivial sense of a clone or branch of a source code corpus used in the
|
||||
normal course of development and testing of those working with or within a
|
||||
project.
|
||||
|
||||
In the simplest form, it should make apparent any child-parent relationships
|
||||
amongst projects
|
||||
|
||||
Stretch goals include annotations indicating the date of the fork, the
|
||||
nature of the fork, any divergence in goals or features of the child
|
||||
projects, languages used, development environments, documention for the
|
||||
projects or for the motivations for entering the forking process, post-fork
|
||||
disposition of the child projects, influence on other projects,
|
||||
characterization of cooperation between or among child projects after the
|
||||
fork including any later merging of the projects.
|
||||
|
||||
Merges of distinctly-originated projects will also be considered.
