The correct way to do Open Source is to contribute to existing projects.
You only fork, if the author is unwilling to take patches or if completely
abandoned by the original author or maintainers. This metallity of
re-inventing the wheel is typical of the Java ecosystem and I think it
sucks. It’s much better to patch and contribute to existing projects.
