Aside from the summary/questions listed by Hernan on 4/28 (with response
by Kevan on 4/28, 5/23 and comment by Hernan on 5/28) ... I don't see
any other conclusion or summary. There is also some reference to the
spaces and groups in our wiki [3] ... but it isn't very specific on
these points beyond the presence of the groups and a brief descriptions.
The PMC vote requirement was dropped by Kevan in the 4/28 response.
Also, on 4/18 David Blevins added this comment in the thread:
"I definitely think our website should remain restricted to committers.
I sort of see that as separate from the rest of our spaces. "
Based on what we have been doing since this discussion and the way
things are configured at the moment in confluence this seems to be the
current approach:
1. Access to all of our wiki spaces is via the geronimo-contributor
group (geronimo-committers also has access to all wiki spaces).
2. Any user with a CLA on file can be granted access to the
geronimo-contributor group without a PMC vote.
3. The only record maintained of write access is in the
geronimo-contributors group itself.
4. Geronimo site authorization (GMOxSITE) is exclusively administered
via the geronimo-committers group.
5. Only those with commit authority on Geronimo are currently included
in the geronimo-committers group.
I agree that getting more folks contributing on doc is a very good
thing. We have accomplished that via the CLA wiki access. However, it
seems to me that write access to our site requires a bit more trust.
The site is the official face of Geronimo to the outside world. I'm
inclined to keep this restricted to committers but I'm certainly open to
other ideas.

Kevan's proposal to start the discussion in the thread you referenced
seems good to me. What was the end result of the discussion? Is the
agreed-upon process documented somewhere? I agree with Donald.
Having a CLA on file would be a good pre-req to me. It seems Kevan
also proposed an additional pre-req of being anointed a contributor by
PMC vote, which also seems fine to me. Getting more folks who are
willing and able to contribute to doc seems a very good thing to me!

And we also need to consider this for the Powered by Geronimo page that we
keep talking about adding in GMOxSITE and allowing others to help
maintain....
I don't have a strong opinion either way. Having a CLA on file would be
enough for me to let someone have access to GMOxSITE, but I'm not sure what
the ASF stance is on project web sites....

I suspect that we want to limit write access to GMOxSITE to Geronimo
committers only .... but thought it should be officially discussed and
clarified, hence this note:
Back when we discussed write access to our wiki [1] we were focused just
on the wiki itself. However, in some subsequent discussions GMOxSITE was
mentioned as well. We now have a request for write access to GMOxSITE by a
Geronimo contributor with a CLA on file. I believe that the unspoken
intention was that access to GMOxSITE should be only granted to Geronimo
committers. Is that correct? This request is coming from the discussion
on adding some Accessibility guidelines [2].
I think it would be ok to add the guidelines to the wiki and point to them
from our site. I also think it would be ok to include them directly in the
site if added by a committer. Would it be necessary to add the
contribution to a JIRA (with rights granted to Apache) for the latter?
