Please ELI5. What does this mean?

There's going to be a similar app to Organic Maps (which was a fork of MAPS.ME). Unknown yet if it is going to be better or worse.

What are you referring to? The reasons to fork, what a fork/forking process is, or what it means for this project?

Contributors disagreed with how the project was run and controlled. They committed to run their own project based on the other project. With more collaborative ownership and governance.
