I didn't want to argue against anything smalltalkhub does. Regardless if you mimick github or "the way people want to work[™]" you need to have basic functionality. In github forks are connected so I always see where a thing comes from. By just copying stuff we will produce a mess. Someone that encounters smalltalkhub will then see 5 slightly different copies of the same thing and he couldn't estimate which one is the one to go first. So my question was if there is an idea how to solve this in smalltalkhub. No matter if it exists already or is being planned. Norbert
