Forks allow people with a common interest to work quitely on a project sorounded only by those who share their interests. For some this enviroment may be more productive.
We have WikiProjects to create such an environment, and they have the added bonus of keeping the content usable within Wikipedia (so that, e.g., the creators of a community fork aren't so damn pissed off with their treatment here they pick an incompatible license as a "fuck-you").
What is there that a community fork achieves that a WikiProject does not, in your view?
