This page is currently a draft work-in-progress, not yet clarified agreements.

Root -The core results from GPLP's work up to 2011, and the stuff that anyone is able to use under CC-SA.

  • Names
  • Hearts
  • Related Pattern Lists
  • Pattern Images (and attribution details)
  • Categories & their descriptions
  • Material from the About, Acknowledgements, and "Who are these people" pages

Trunk - Canonical Version of Group Works Deck, and similar official offerings such as the iPhone App. Could be trademarked, and assets from this group aren't shared for re-use.

  • Finished designs for the cards
  • Card Font
  • Design of "Blank Card"
  • Card Back
  • Official GPLP material related to the cards (info sheets, posters, videos, etc.)

Branches - Non-Canonical works directly based on the Trunk. Anyone can make these. Any given one can become Trunk. (The Group Works Canvas is a likely candidate)

  • Group Works Canvas
  • Contributed material related to the cards (info sheets, posters, videos, etc.)
  • Spanish Translation 

Forks - More radical derivatives that are based on Root / Trunk, but may include partial or totally different content, be for a different group (Educators, Substance Abuse Councillors), etc. Ideas from forks can be incorporated back into branches or even trunk. Pattern Language of Online Facilitation would be one example.

  • Pattern Language of Online Facilitation

Questions:

So is a translation into another language a fork? --John Abbe
