I didn't know people could be given committer rights to only documentation. Last time I probed this topic, I was told (and the email thread exists somewhere) that there are no such thing as partial rights -- you get to commit access to everything (or nothing) under the struts group. Since Confluence is a different system, perhaps things became more lenient when I wasn't looking. > One other option that comes to mind is Sidewiki.

Migrating the docs would not be an easy task! Yes, I don't look forward to it, but I think keeping it in SVN is akin to being frozen in an ice-berg. Even I hate editing it. Anyway, with the help of Lukasz, I hope it is easier.
