-* [[https://github.com/626Pilot/Smoothieware|Simulated annealing]] : Simulated annealing (AI) auto-calibration for Deltas, plus depth-map Z correction & probe calibration ([[http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=7640&p=62978|discussion]]). Note "mainstream" Smoothie does support calibration, the difference in this fork is the math/logic of calibration, which is different.

 * [[https://github.com/OpenTrons/SmoothiewareOT|OpenTrons ]] : A custom fork that supports 6-axis movement ( but is not yet stable ) and some opentron-specific features

 * [[https://github.com/RepRapMorgan/Smoothieware|Reprap Morgan]] : A fork with features optimized for the Reprap Morgan architecture
 * [[https://github.com/RTimothyEdwards/Smoothieware|Ditto Printing]] : A fork with branch features/ditto-printing to enable one or more secondary extruders to duplicate the movements of the primary, using RepRap gcode "M605 S2"
+* [[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/smoothie-dev/fWqX3zo7EPo|Joystick Jogging]] : A new module to allow jogging with a joystick. Needs testing, so if you are interested by this feature, please help.
+* [[https://github.com/3DMS/Smoothieware|Dual X, Y, Z, E]] : Mimics the Dual X, Y or Dual Z feature of Marlin. You will need to add new parameters into your configuration file in order to make it work.
+* [[https://github.com/DavidJRobertson/Smoothieware/tree/ftp-server|FTP server]]: allows the use of a commodity FTP client (e.g. Filezilla) to manage files on the SD card

+# First, go to the link for the github page of that branch
+# Click the green <kbd>Clone or Download</kbd> button
+# Click on <kbd>Download ZIP</kbd>
+# Decompress the ZIP file
+# You can now follow the instructions at [[http://smoothieware.org/compiling-smoothie|compiling-smoothie]] exactly as you would for the edge branch

 Most or all of those branches are not regularly ( or ever ) updated to the latest Smoothie releases. This means they will probably lack most recent features ( possibly a lot of them ) and bug fixes.
+It is also likely that trying to update those branches/forks to the latest version of Smoothie would be a lot of work, or even in some cases close to impossible.

+<callout type="success" icon="true" title="Checking out pull requests">
+Not everything is a branch or a fork, sometimes code can also be stored/presented in the form of a "Pull request".
+If you are confused by what that means, you need to read up on git and github ( github has extensive documentation on everything, it's very impressive. Jim also recommends http://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/ )
+Here is for example how you would check out the pull request for the jogger feature :
+<code>
+git checkout -b skaterzero807-feature/Jogger edge
+git pull git://github.com/skaterzero807/Smoothieware.git feature/Jogger
+</code>
