It seems like we should start from scratch in our next major release then ;-)
For the next Geronimo v 2.x release we would set a new Confluence space and
give write access to geronimo-committers and geronimo-contributors.
geronimo-contributors would only group individual users who have expressed interest in
contributing to Geronimo documentation and filed a CLA. In addition, we would enable
confluence-users (default user group) to have "Comment Create" rights, however
these comments would not show up in the exported HTML version (only in Confluence). This
user group would later replace geronimo-users.
New spaces where only geronimo-committers and geronimo-contributors have write
access to will have a different HTML auto export template to include standard
ASF license notice one every single page (in the HTML source). Such new spaces
would have to be developed from scratch, that is not carrying over any content
previously used in other documentation releases. This should hopefully exclude
certain sections developed entirely by committers for which a CLA is already on
file.
Cheers!

It's already ASF policy that an ICLA be on file for anyone to get
write access to a confluence space used for official documentation or
a website (plain "wiki" usage is exempt). Updated a good 40~ cwiki
spaces to use the asf-cla group instead of confluence-users, including
ours, a couple weeks ago after some abuse so we're compliant with the
minimum policy.
Some groups, like the Incubator, are talking that you need to be a
committer to get write access -- not just have a CLA on file. I'm not
sure I see the need for raising the bar that high. I like the idea of
the check box as an alternate to having a CLA on file, assuming this
is kosher with infra.
All,
I found the following source of documentation on the subject --

Looks like we have some choices. One of the decisions will be what to do
about documentation that has already been contributed without a CLA.
I'd like to hear what the community thinks we should do...
