Persistent Forking allows contributors of your site to create permanent “forks” of existing posts. Every fork is a full-fledged post in its own right and can be published as such. This distinguishes Persistent Forking from the Post Forking plugin, where forks are a collaborative tool in order to arrive at a single definitive version. The parent-child relationships between posts are tracked and it is possible to visualise the entire family tree of a post.
Support
Please report any issue that you find while using the plugin at our GitHub repository:
https://github.com/UUDigitalHumanitieslab/persistent-forking/issues
The first priority of the Digital Humanities Lab is to service requests from Humanities researchers at Utrecht University. However, the plugin is open source with a liberal license, so anyone can provide a patch if we don’t follow up on your issue.
If you are interested in (Digital) Humanities, please have a look at our website:
