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

                      I develop Wekan, because I use Wekan myself, I'm scratching my own itch

                        At beginning I did maintain Wekan as a hobby. After one year of maintaining Wekan, at GitHub issues some did ask that Wekan could have bounties, so I added bounties and my Commercial Support https://wekan.team

                            I continue to develop Wekan, because Wekan Community encourages me to continue, and my customers pay for development of Wekan. I could get more money if I were working for some big company. But my customers make it possible that I can work at my home, developing new features for Wekan.

                              I do carefully listen for feeback at GitHub issues, chats, etc. I use GitHub Watch feature to get emails about all new issues, comments at issues, pull requests etc.

                                Wekan has some contributors, that send pull request, but Wekan would progress much faster if there were even more contributors sending pull requests.

                                  Wekan has 572 open issues, it's not like I can develop them all at once, I'm just one person.

                                    Developing even one new feature takes some time

                                        then why are you not promoting wekan as a competitor to trello?

                                          Because Wekan is already better than Trello

                                                For software I use, I prefer Open Source, because I can see source code, and I can fix bugs myself.
