When a core dev steps down from a project and forks, I see that action as a vote of no confidence in the current leadership.

While I certainly don't want to stir the pot, I do see a bit of irony in that a stated goal of ChiliProject is transparency but there isn't a lot of transparency on why the fork was created.

I fear bad blood will be inevitable as developers/users pick their sides. All that being said, I wish your project the best and I will be looking in from time to time to see if we might revaluate our issue tracker.

Transparency in development process isn't the same as transparency in interpersonal drama.. with OSS it is hard to draw a distinction between the two sometimes. I applaud the relative civility with which this fork is happening and I appreciate the fact that we arent focusing on the drama but rather on the options and opportunities that this split creates.
