Other Development Issues
- Freezing
Freezes come in two major forms:
feature freeze: a period when no significant functionality is added
code freeze: a period when all changes to the code are discouraged and only changes that fix known bugs are permitted
- Forking
A fork is when a group of developers takes code from a free software project and starts a brand new free software project
If at all possible, Don't fork.
Of course, there are lots of situation when they are the right choice.
