How to fork a plugin?

there are several guides in the Codex that can help,

  • Set up your plugin for submission
  • Submit your plugin
  • Keep it up to date

I also think it’s a great idea to “fix” older useful plugins 🙂

Steps:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/

Submit:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add/

How to Use Subversion:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/svn/

Promotion and additional info:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_Submission_and_Promotion

Using subversion depends on your OS, for windows I recommend tortoise SVN http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/
For Mac check out “Versions”, http://versionsapp.com/ or you can use the command line.
Also a lot of IDE’s now have subversion support built right in.
