Even as there is way less change on wolips than on wonder it is unfair of the community to burden you with all that work as you too have to hold down a job.

We can look at the wocommunity fork as a "staging" fork, a place where we can try out new stuff or fixes without having to build the forks of everyone who is providing fixes or new features.
As for issues, we can remove the Issues tab in the wocommunity fork so that issues would be only created on the wolips master repository. For pull requests, they could be done in the wocommunity fork, and when we know that everything is good, we do a pull request into the wolips master repository.
For me, my goals are to make it easier to new developers to get in WOLips. That's why I want to add a ERRest template and that I removed the "WebObjects" templates from File -> New so that we have less confusion (a new user will not understand the differences between a "WebObjects Application" and a "Wonder Application" (the WebObjects templates are still available from File -> New -> Other).
