[OOTB-hive] [Ootb-hive] The Order of the Bee

[Jan Pfitzner]

Hi all,
I'm more & more noticing the word "fork" around Alfresco Community &
also aviriel
mentioned it here...
It's currently not my goal to fork Alfresco or be involved in such a
mission.
Let us focus on promoting Alfresco Community & maybe providing a set of
patches/fixes/addons etc.
Cheers, jan
