I think, the whole fork stuff with Hudson and Jenkins gets even more hilarious. In a vote, the Hudson community decided to move (take your breath) to github.com. See InfoQ for more details about this movement. Now both Hudson as well as Jenkins are on github. Jason (van Zyl) seem to have made already quite some changes to Hudson so, I would expect some major changes coming up for the next Huds...
