A process used in open source development by which a new development branch is created to a project. The output of these development branches are variations of each other. In other words, forking doesn't lead to a totally different output, as opposed to spinoff.
Forking can be applied in peer production to ventures. Thus, forking a venture means creating another venture with a different focus or approach.
