The Apache CWIKI page is now quite clear about this (not sure what changed, i thought some cwiki page used to say the opposite?) -
"An individual person contributing documentation in this way is not required to be a "committer", but he or she does need to file a CLA, so that there is no doubt that the individual intends to contribute the copyright on the documentation to the ASF. Of course, whenever anyone makes "welcome and sustained contributions" to the documentation, it is appropriate to invite that person to become a committer and PMC Member, and share in the decision making." - see http://cwiki.apache.org/CWIKI/. So no problem, when someone comes along we want to grant access just discuss and vote on the private list and we can just give them access. If we could get cwiki change emails sent to the tuscany-commit mailing list so its easy to give some oversight then I'd be in favour of a very low bar of entry. ...ant On 7/15/07, Mike Edwards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Folks, I think that we should consider the idea of "Website Wiki committership" separately from "Code committership". I don't think that it should be necessary for someone to have Code committership in order to be granted update access to the Website/Wiki. I do agree that it needs to be controlled, but that we should draw up a wider list of folk who are allowed to edit material on the Website. As has been pointed out, updates to the website have slowed down since we restricted write access. This is not good. Our website needs plenty of work. Yours, Mike.
