Actually, the Fedora account system (FAS) only requires username, real name, email address, and a check for "I am 13 years of age or older." This is why Fedora Hosted works as a true upstream hosting solution. Your contributor policy is entirely in your project's hands. In a different scenario, if SSSD were to have it's own, stand-alone CLA, we could create an 'sssd_cla' group in FAS. People who had signed the SSSD CLA would be added to that group, and not even need to be in the Fedora Project CLA group 'cla_done'. Back to this scenario, if we have a clear contribution policy page on the wiki, that could cover the wiki potentially. In MediaWiki, you can change the template for the content that appears in 'edit page' mode. In the Fedora wiki, it reaffirms that the content is covered by the CLA. In Wikipedia, the wording is very similar to that of the FreeIPA contrib policy I wrote up; I borrowed liberally. :) > Our present wiki comes to us through the Fedorahosted servers, and as > such relies on the users having a Fedora account themselves.

Interestingly, this is the third or so conversation I've had in the last few days where folks thought Fedora Hosted required a Fedora CLA - we may need to do some marketing fixing there. :) As long as SSSD participants know the facts, it should be an appropriate restriction, IMO. - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener http://quaid.fedorapeople.org AD0E0C41
