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 ste…
They had a vote to remove him, it failed. Move on!

#53The 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?
io.js forked 2014, planning to keep io.js up-to-date with the V8 engine. Node.js foundation was later founded and later in 2015 io.js and node.js merged into Node 4.0.

#54He seems like a candidate for being a douchey provocateur. Tech-libertarian too?
It's hard enough having the JS community taken seriously with the zeitgeist framework changing too quickly.

'This project is bound by a Code of Conduct.' in bold has probably something to do with it..
That same comment is in the Node.js readme as well. And if Ayo.js was objecting to the code of conduct, then they would have removed it when the edited the rest of the readme. https://github.com/nodejs/node
I think they don't want it removed, they want it enforced and some people kicked out?

#56For those asking what the reason of the fork is it looks like it has something to do with a code of conduct violation by one of the node developers that the steering committee voted to ignore. I have no idea what the story behind it as it doesn't seem like anyone has actually published the full story. Regardless of the reason, this seems like a premature announcement of the project. There isn't a roadmap, list of dis…
Yes. Anyone can "fork" any code for any time and reason. Anyone can announce that they're doing it.
What makes this newsworthy? Is it a credible fork? What's the reason for the fork? Who is contributing?

Hmmm.

#57Sounds like BS. Possibly relevant: Eric S. Raymond: Why Hackers Must Eject the SJWs (2015) http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=6918
The awesome-django issue here is full of BS.

#58We are fixing too many problems by forking, please stop!
Re: Node.js is forked to Ayo.js (pronounced like “IO”)
#59Are they seriously forking the project because they don't like one person involved in it?
And that the rest of the community is supporting his alleged abusiveness (e.g. by voting to keep him on board). It's not just because they dislike him, it's because the community in general seems fine with his kind of behavior.
Not that I am supporting it, just explaining why in their view this is bigger than just him.

#60The issues page says it all: https://github.com/ayojs/ayo/issues . This is not a software project. There will be no actual code written.
