Something is still not set up right for wiki editing. While anyone in the AdminGroup can edit pages, someone in the ContributorsGroup still cannot.
I suspect we might need the $projectwiki.py updated as per [1] in order to allow ContributorsGroup to edit pages by default. [1] http://wiki.apache.org/general/OurWikiFarm#Enabling_per_wiki_override_of_ACLs I am attempting to subscribe to infrastructure@ to ask about this. In the short term, add people to AdminGroup if they need to edit the wiki. Also, there's very little indication of what has to be done in order to get permissions to edit the wiki. I think I'll add a line on the folowing FrontPage "Community and Context / With a little help of our friends" section stating: * To Edit This wiki -- request wiki contributor status from the MyFaces Development <dev@myfaces.apache.org> mailing list. It'd be great to make this more obvious, but I'm not certain how.
