Great to see you getting back into the docs! I'm assembling the first revision of the Pylons docs that will use Sphinx and be in the Pylons repo so that anyone installing Pylons will have a copy of the docs with them. However, before I can start yanking docs from the wiki that different people wrote, I need to know the license and copyright intention of those who wrote the docs. :)
For the others that have expressed interest, I'll need a similar contribution license put together to ensure that I have appropriate rights for distribution of all contributed docs to Pylons as its messy to sort out copyright issues later. I was originally considering the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), but some of the criticism of its points seem rather valid, so I'm now looking at the BSD Documentation License as Pylons is entirely MIT licensed (which is essentially identical to the 2-clause BSD license). This is rather important as the GFDL actually has some odd issues when citing code that's covered by a different license from what I can tell.
Repoze has a rather nice form put together here: http://repoze.org/contributing.htmlI'll modify as needed for those wishing to contribute to the Pylons core docs. That work for everyone?
Cheers, Ben
