We're having this exact discussion over in Lucene land. To me, as Mahout matures, we likely will promote up official docs, so those are good candidates for the CMS. Unfortunately, CMS is committers only. However, having said that, there is no reason why we can't make people who work on docs committers with the understanding that it is their primary focus. Some of the bigger projects explicitly do that. It's not an enforced thing, as in locking them down to that part of the code only, but more of a recognition of this is the primary place to make contributions for a particular person based on their past experience. > Is > migrating from confluence to http://wiki.apache.org/general/ a > plausible option? I don't really like MoinMoin. I would rather not.
