Line 82:
That is a valid point [[User:Findepi|Findepi]]. The term "fork" may not an appropriate term to use in this situation. By strict definition, PrestoSQL may resemble a fork. But using such a term implies more than what may be intended. There are many forks of Presto for a variety of purposes. Fork can also be used a as divisive term to stir emotion. Therefore using the term also deserves a longer explanation such as the vast majority of people who have contributed most code to Presto no longer contribute to PrestoDB and now contribute to PrestoSQL (as you pointed out[[User:Findepi|Findepi]]). Or that pieces of the code are cherry picked in both directions. There would be a lot to work out so that the reader has a complete understanding if such a term is used. Therefore I suggest avoiding the term "fork" entirely.

It seems that we all agree on these points, so I removed the release version and added links to both websites.
''> It seems to me like we should include information about both and how they split into separate software projects.''
I also agree that this would be worthwhile. Do you have any suggestions on what sources would be appropriate for such content?
