It is easy to fill out the form and it lets you work on any project.
If you are only going to change a URL, you can just make a request in
the dev list and someone with an ICLA on file will do it.
It sounds like you are going to do a lot more.
It is just a good habit for the PMC and contributors to get into.
Getting the paperwork done avoids any questions in the future.
If you ever get active on the code side (testing, code cleanup, etc)
you already have the ICLA in place.

That was my understanding. I'm working on this on my own time, so I have no
legal concerns over the ownership of work.
I understand it's probably worthwhile in the long run but adds another step
people may consider too much bother to make a one line change to a URL.

They do not need to be a committer of software.
I support the documentation in a number of projects where I am not a committer.
The ACL does give you any rights.
It only says that you agree that the rights to ANYTHING that you contribute to
a project belong to Apache.

While I agree with some of your points Ron, we also need to make sure
that we are setup to be able to take advantage of motivated people
contributing (especially around documentation) without first requiring
that they become a committer. That is a bit of a chicken and egg
problem because no one will accept a new committer with zero activity,
so if we didn't give this type of access, then an interested
contributor would never be able to support the project in the ways
know how.
We need as much support on the supporting documentation as we can get,
and we don't have the convenience of mechanisms like 'pull requests'
on wiki content.
My 0.02$ anyway...

You may want to own the wiki content as well as the software.
A company may want to quote the wiki or incorporate some of it
into their documentation without having to get the rights from
each person who contributed to the page.
Even more complicated if someone posts a design or an enhancement
and then claims to own it and patent it.
It is good practice to make sure that Apache owns it all (code,
docs, test cases, enhancements, patches) and that you can use it
all without legal problems under the Apache license.

Why do you say that Ron? You need one to become a committer.
for the
wiki we need to recognise you as a contributor. I think you
need no
more.

Alex,
Do you have a CLA on file with Apache.
You should have one to contribute to the wiki.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do
to help with this.
I have an open PR on the repo readme.md
<http://readme.md>, minor documentation change but
somehow is breaking the build. My guess is it's
something unrelated on
master.

We need to amend. As of 4.10 we are on jdk 8.
I will have to review it and see what needs to
be done to bring it up to

I appreciate setup guides may not necessitate
lots of amendments however
4
years seemed a long time to go with nothing.
Are we still on JDK 6 for
example?
More than happy to amend Confluence with
updates as I come across them.
