Hi Jon, regarding http://linq.to, I had to make the wiki readonly because of spam. I'm (passively) looking for a solution... So if someone is willing to manage the site, I'd be happy with that.
regarding the Codeplex projet, a guy made a post here, because he had no answer from the group to inform of the fork. Anyway I think his patches were integrated here. Actually, DbLinq in CodePlex is more a dead branch than a fork. Pascal.
