Ruth,
As I mentioned in that other message the general idea with the
OFBADMIN space is that it is maintained by PMC members. To be more
blunt, the vote may go another way (no responses to your message to
the private@ mailing list yet), but chances are you will not be
granted permission in that space because you are not on the PMC. In
fact, before we can even decide we have to discuss whether or not to
change the general practice so far of only allowing PMC members to
change the admin space documents. In other words, it's not a simple
thing especially as it brings up a request for a change in how things
are currently managed.
In other other words, it might be easiest to put your content in a
wiki (OFBIZ space) page, and then request that the images and wiki
text be moved over to the page in the OFBADMIN space.

Thanks David. I now understand. I shall request access from the
committee. Don't want to make any more work for anyone since its not
a big deal for me to do it myself.

I'm not in a position to approve or disapprove anything... in fact
the whole idea is a bit silly since it's never been done like
that, and really never should be done like that.
The PMC votes on all decisions related to write access to
resources (at least since the PMC has existed, ie since joining
the ASF). I'll certainly participate in the vote, and my vote will
be one of the 12 possible votes with current the 12 PMC members:
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/Apache+OFBiz+PMC+Members+and+Committers
To contact the PMC please send a message to:
priv...@ofbiz.apache.org
About this space, the OFBADMIN one, it's traditionally been only
changeable by PMC members. The rest are changeable by all
committers, and by anyone who expresses an interest in working on
documentation and is voted in by the PMC.
The easiest way to get a change into that page is to make a change
in the wiki (OFBIZ) space or somewhere, and then submit a request
by Jira or the dev list to have that content moved to the page in
the OFBADMIN space.
BTW, Ruth you currently have write access to the OFBENDUSER,
OFBTECH, and of course the OFBIZ space since anyone with an
account can write there.

It looks like she just wants to edit the page - which I can give
perms to - but I would like for David or whoever makes those
decisions to say - Yeah, go ahead Ruth! I doubt it will be an
issue, I've just never granted this stuff myself :) As for the
SVN stuff - that's definitely the way to go.
Cheers,
Tim

Tim,
If the page Ruth needs to modify is in the SVN space, then she
could do an SVN checkout, make her changes, and provide a patch.

So, you're just saying you'd like to write to that page - that
makes perfect sense and is something that I know that David
(and possibly me) - but I'm not sure how to make it happen.
Anyways, I'm sure that Wiki privileges will be attainable.
Cheers,
Tim

Hi Tim:
I'd just like to write to the website location http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Related+Books
.
Not sure if this is doc spaces or part of SVN. Don't know how
the project website with Apache is set up.
Thanks
Ruth

Do you not have write access to the docs spaces or are you
looking for write access to the actual site in SVN? If
you're looking for that - good luck. I've been a committer
for almost 3 years and still don't have access to that!
Cheers,
Tim

Hello All:
How can I get my e-books listed on the OFBiz website? I
have two books that I've written and I would like to make
them available to anyone interested. Specifically, I'd like
to list them under "Learning".
(http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Related+Books)
If you give me access to the site, I can do the HTML edits
myself.
Regards,
Ruth
