The rules, as documented [1], don't restrict editorship of a wiki used as a project website to just committers but ask that only those who have a signed CLA on file be allowed to edit the pages destined for the project website. It doesn't say we can't restrict it to just committers of course.
I think we should allow this wider level of access. I have added the asf-cla group into our space permission list and given it the same rights as committers (apart from admin rights). I admit that I don't know though how/when people are added to asf-cla but assume that it is done when a CLA is received. I believe that in keeping with [1] we do need to turn off create rights for confluence-users whichever way we go. If people agree to this I (or any other committer for that matter) can make the change. We also had a discussion previously about creating a new space which is not used for the web site and supports more ad-hoc editing of content. Is there still and appetite for this? If so we should request one now as we turn off general edit rights. Regards Simon [1] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CWIKI/Index
