- From what I can tell, anyone can go to the confluence site, create an account, and start adding/modifying content. This makes sense, because it is desirable for people to be able to easily join the community and help with documentation. However, from what I understand about ASF policy, any documentation that is distributed with a release artifact can only be contributed by people who have signed a CLA. So, what we've been asking for is to have a separate space that is limited such that only people who have signed a CLA have access to contribute content. Then, that content would be exported and bundled with releases as official documentation. For more information see the section titled "Can we use the autoexport site as part of our main web site?" at http://cwiki.apache.org/CWIKI/ Josh On Tuesday November 10, 2009, Alan D.
