If we currently try and open a project in the WebIDE (for which we are not members) the prompt is based on whether you have a personal fork (and if not, you will be prompted to create a personal fork). We want to encourage collaboration and have everyone using the community forks. So we need a way to configure a preferred/default fork for any project/group? (and tie this in with the requirement for a "simple" access request mechanism). /cc @stingrayza as we spoke about this, this morning :thumbsup:
