                      Many do fork Wekan, add some feature or fix, and don't contribute back. I have seen youtube videos of features like voting that do not exist on official Wekan

                                    Wekan already has features Trello and Jira does not have.

                                      Wekan has Swimlanes, Trello does not have it.

                                          Why you are thinking of forking? What would guarantee that this time you continue adding features and fixes, and not stop doing it?
