To what i need to pay attention?

Well, you need to do alot of things to fork Solus. For info read Josh comment here

kyrios why forking instead of contributing to the project ?

A fork can be a good exercise for a dev to understand the depths of OS development . And that would result in a fair amount of contribution to the base OS and also gives to some users what the devs of the base OS aren't okay with it

      eljondy This implies starting from the ground up which is likely not what they are intending. Most people who want to "fork" Solus are really just talking about community Spins that get around our Package Inclusion Policy. You would learn far more from Linux From Scratch than doing this if you actually wanted to learn about distro development. OS development is a completely different field and has far more to do with the Kernel and User-Space than it does distributing pre-compiled and pre-configured packages.

        Let me strongly disagree. The best way to learn is to work with experienced people who can help and explain why things were done in a certain way or why other things weren't done. This is something you get by contributing to a project. You receive from people and you give back this is the root of open source. You become better and the project becomes better, everybody win.

        Forking is absolutely not a necessity for learning and people doing so aren't team players and are rather willing to work on their own rather than contributing back. Forks are useful when done for a good reason and this is not a good reason. This is a cancer for open source.

          You're much better off doing a Linux From Scratch. It's loads of fun too. When you're done with that you could learn to write your own package manager (even more loads of fun). Then you could make a release of your own distribution... or you could just go straight to Void Linux and contribute to that (you can install it with a bare bones system, which is not the intention for Solus).
