I agree with that. > Furthermore, the procedure to get www-acces is not > that clear... when I joined the group, I had to seriously dig in the > documentation to finally find a web page which wasn't even hosted on a > debian.org website I agree with that too. But I did the effort of finding the procedure and asking for cvs commit access to the webwml files. To my surprise I got the access granted within 24 hours. And also to my surprise, editing the webwml files and committing the changes is much easier than I expected. > at that time (Joey's page that apparently moved to > people.d.o in the mean time and that you have now listed in > http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Webmaster).

I agree with giving cvs commit access to the webwml files to all DD's, or, to encourage all DD's to request that access.
