Ted, there is no need to be a committer to review and edit content. That's the point. The only requirement is to do the work. Being a committer makes things a little easier (can commit work directly rather than rely on others) but that requires merit to be earned first.
See http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html Once you have a specific task you want to tackle let us know and we can guide you on how to tackle it.

This FAQ entry should probably be one of the first content to be translated to crowd-source translation :) notice that if a currently non-committer propose a lot of good centent, he could IMHO be voted to be committer on comdev (ie not on any code TLP, but general committer to have the commit bit to the site) Regards, Hervé [1] https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.apache.org%2fdev%2fcmsref.html%23non-committer&data=01%7c01%7ctedl%40064d.mgd.microsoft.com%7c35910a4d30da427a867308d2f56de271%7c72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7c1&sdata=IuaGJ1X%2bE2ffXNN2d22Jcqg0T1mHUVtf8ey5BlCJoB0%3d Le mercredi 25 novembre 2015 01:15:31 Ted Liu a écrit : > The site content is public.
