At the end of October I mentioned a project called Twiki that was in the process of being forked because the project creator wanted to take the project down the commercial open source route.
The community behind TWiki wasn’t too pleased about this. Consequently, they have forked the TWiki code and have founded the Foswiki project in order to continue development.

English is a tricky language isn’t it? You started the first paragraph mentioning that “TWiki was being forked”. As a side-issue to the first paragraph you mentioned that the project creator wanted to take the project down the commercial open source route.
Then you started a new paragraph that stated that the TWiki community were unhappy about “this”. Any normal person would assume that “this” refers to the dominant issue in the first paragraph, i.e. the forking. But I know that you really meant that the TWiki community are unhappy about the project going down the commercial open source route.
As a blogger you have to assume people cannot read your mind and you have to explicitly state your assumptions, particularly when you offer people multiple choices when talking about “this” or “that” or “it”.
@Peter – gosh, it’s like being back in school. You are right though, the post is far from being a classic. But, to edit it at this late stage, would be quite wrong I think. I’ll try to do better next time.
