First off, I'll assume you meant to refer to iCLAs, and not CCLAs, in the above two paras? Second, I'm not sure if you're asking in the context of Labs specifically, or in the context of Confluence in general. I can't answer with respect to the former, because I've never seen any discussion on the topic. With respect to the latter, I believe it's up to each project to decide whether they want to allow anyone with an iCLA to edit the wiki. The exception is when the wiki space is being used to generate a web site, via the autoexport plugin, in which case it is mandatory for people to have an iCLA on file before they are allowed to edit it. There's a Confluence group named something like 'asf-cla' to control such access. -- Martin Cooper > FWIW i can see arguments both ways. pragmatically, it's not easy to > patch confluence (so labs contributions from documentors would be > effectively excluded). on the other hand, no new committers is one of > the barriers which makes labs effective. > > - robert > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > >
