Creating enduring software is challenging yet rewarding, especially in open source where diverse contributors' differing motivations complicate collaboration. Forking can aid innovation, allowing new governance and architectural experiments. Joost and Karim's new project, JKPress, aims for decentralized plugin management and modernization of tech frameworks without centralized control. Joost seeks leadership in releases without traditional processes, supported by WP Engine. To promote this shift, key contributors' accounts will be deactivated, encouraging experimentation. The potential for collaboration between JKPress and WordPress is anticipated, fostering innovation in the open-source community. A summit is proposed in a year to evaluate progress.
