What is the reason for the fork ?
SJW rage, it seems.

#32Make sure you use proper [1] CoC next time you start new project. Proper as in not easy to abuse for political reason or just because some SJW decided you are wrong.

#33Aye! Oh!
Ever since SCSI I can't say that anyone will have success trying to encourage people to pronounce their project names in a certain way. Good luck to them though and anything that improves the node space is welcome in my book. Forks included.
Relevant wikipedia article:
> Almost a full day was devoted to agreeing to name the standard "Small Computer System Interface", which Boucher intended to be pronounced "sexy", but ENDL's Dal Allan pronounced the new acronym as "scuzzy" and that stuck.

#34The previous fork was successful because a lot of the developers went with the fork and it was fulfilling an unserviced need in the community for a node built on newer versions of v8. Does anyone know if this fork has much of a chance of survival?
didn't follow the node development closely, what was this fork?
It was called io.js.

#35Reasons for fork: "Repeated ToC violations by an authority figure went unaddressed." https://twitter.com/alicegoldfuss/status/900109726872068096 Not sure what ToC is, but the alleged violations appear to be of Code of Conduct. Alleged violations are described here: https://twitter.com/ohhoe/status/899748838302302212 Most links are private, but here are the public ones: https://twitter.com/rvagg/status/887652116524707…
Going through those links it's still not obvious what's happening. @rvagg has some kind of leadership position, has some strong opinions about codes of conduct (not the only one), and they're forking the project for that? What?
It is unclear. Seemed like he has repeatedly used a language that some community members found offensive.
His stance against Code of Conduct, as evident by this Tweet: https://twitter.com/rvagg/status/887652116524707841 and follow up comments were considered inappropriate by some.
Even more details here: https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/310
""" The TSC members were not able to reach a natural consensus on the steps forward so a vote was called on two specific questions:
(A) Should Rod be removed from the TSC: Yes or No (B) Should Rod be asked to voluntarily resign from the TSC: Yes or No
There are 13 members of the TSC. 10 members voted, two abstained, and Rod did not participate.
The vote came down 60% against removing Rod from the TSC and 60% against asking Rod to voluntarily resign. """

#37Line that stood out to me: "Rod retweeted in support of an inflammatory anti-Code-of-Conduct article" If you're not 100% onboard with the politics, you're a horrible person.
While I agree with this specific point, it seems that was the "least worse" of that person's actions.

Well at least they didn't delete the code of conduct:

#40I've been clicking around on twitter and github for five minutes and there seems to be zero specifics about what actually happened.
What's with the secrecy? Not saying this is a non-issue, but the best way to present your issue as a non-issue is to be this vague about what you're complaining about.
