Not sure what to think about that. Forks are part of our reality and I have no problem with that, but I'm not sure that OSGeo can stand behind two forks of the same project. The history page is an interesting read, but I still don't get a clear idea of what's happening exactly and what to think about both GeoToolkit vs GeoTools: http://www.geotoolkit.org/history.html It would perhaps be interesting to hear what the GeoTools PMC members have to say about this fork... hear their side of the story.
